I loved this. The dad was heartbreaking and so sweet. I was surprised by how emotional it had me. Acting was so good.
This modern take on Frankenstein is plagued by ridiculous sociopolitical stereotypes. . . and here I was hoping that an all black horror film could actually concentrate on the film itself and not spewing the same old again.
I came into this thinking it was a comedy but it is not. . . it's dark, depressing and messed up but also absolutely gorgeous and well-done. It has some minor flaws but the story and the meanings behind it make these easy to ignore. Well worth the watch.
The writing has a the feel of "Now this happens, because it has to for the next thing to happen" without any natural progression. Some of the dialogue amongst the characters felt real but nothing in the plot felt earned. Worth a watch.
this was ok. the Frankenstein references were cute, butthe execution was a bit hamfisted.
