Really enjoyed this modern retelling of Mary Shelley from a fresh new voice on the scene.The visuals and FX are very effective.The acting superb. And anyone who tries to replicate the old 80’s electricity special effects has my attention. Def one to check out if you’re in need of a monster movie with modern resonance.
this has like a dozen different things going on and not a single one is interesting enough to keep my attention. i really just sat here for an hour and a half wondering when this was gonna end.
