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.
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.
Amazing movie
Wow, nothing like racists calling themselves out in the reviews LOL. This was a thoughtful take on Frankenstein, and fairly well done for what it was. Do I think it’s a great movie? Award winner? Nah, not likely. Was it enjoyable? Sure. It was a little slow to start, getting to the monster bit, but I wouldn’t call it boring. Strong social commentary, and I think that was the main point of this movie. At its core, it’s mostly about family, not the monster.
