Married scientists create a modern-day monster.

Alison Willmore

BuzzFeed News

Rose doesn't force his monster into a metaphor for anything; he just brings the narrative into the present day and allows it to resonate as one about the people who are shunted to society's outskirts and treated as less than human.

4.5/5

Highly intelligent and deeply wounding, Frankenstein stands as a stark reminder that in these so-called enlightened times, we still haven't made it that far.

3/5

Mary Shelley's 19th-century tale about man playing God gets a fascinating 21st-century refit from Candyman director Bernard Rose.

6.5/10

Bernard "Candyman" Rose's Frankenstein is the dreamy, gory, and strangely moving modern take on the most famous monster story of all time for which we didn't even realise we'd been waiting.

Its use of gore, its plot rage and originality place the movie above the average level. [Full Review in Spanish]

3/5

An offbeat updating of Mary Shelley's classic Gothic tale that strikingly mixes grind-house gore with high-brow ideas.

Pretty straight forward - it's Frankenstein (even with the "He's Alive" line) brought into current day. And another tale of what happens when humans think they're in charge of life.

Oddly, this film has rather good performances and a pretty decent plot. But what destroys the film is the horrible pace and the feeling of scenes missing. This movie should at least be 2 hours long and structured like The Fly. But, instead, the film jumps over major developments, leaving the viewer stuck in this teen, angsty feel of a story. And what are with some of these characters? Overall, this movie is filled with many moments of unintentionally hilarious flaws that takes you out of the story. Watch for the performances, stay for the unintended comedy.

How does this have 100% critic rating? Did the only critic to rate this happen to make It?

Not a bad update. Hits all the bases of the original

The make-up is really good, but the transposition to modern day times for the 19th century novel is average.
