They got a lot of things right about this, but not any of the stuff about Mary Shelley. I’m not defending the woman. I don’t know her obviously. I just feel like this could’ve been written about any author who gets possessed by a story. I guess they just had to play on the name. Anyway, pretty drawn out. I wouldn’t even call it a slow burn because I was pretty sleepy through most of it. There was no burn.
Awful, boring and an insult to Mary Shelly.
Knowing the origins of the book sure. Otherwise not knowing this, an eh film.
Lame, boring, no
