Frankenstein: Putting The Pieces Back Together

In case you didn’t get it the first 2,000 times, now comes Victor Frankenstein, YET ANOTHER in an endless assembly line of Frankenstein movies, that seeks to do pretty much the same thing we’ve been seeing over and over since 1931. Behold the premise…

“Radical scientist Victor Frankenstein (and his equally brilliant protégé Igor Strausman share a noble vision of aiding humanity through their groundbreaking research into immortality. But Victor’s experiments go too far, and his obsession has horrifying consequences. Only Igor can bring his friend back from the brink of madness and save him from his monstrous creation.”

While the plot is over 80 years old, it does star Harry Potter and that guy from The X-Men, who also played a half-man/half-goat guy in The Chronicles of Narnia: The Lion, the Witch and the Wardrobe (2005). Hey, I have nieces; I had to watch it. How dare you judge me? Anyway, look for Victor Frankenstein in theatres November 25, 2015.

In case you can’t wait that long, there’s YET ANOTHER Frankenstein movie called, cleverly enough, Frankenstein. This one played some film festivals back in April 2015, but has a date with electrically charged devices on September 21, 2015.

If you think the title is sparse, get a load of the plot: “A married couple of scientists create a modern-day monster.”

Way to sell it. The married couple probably “created a modern-day monster” by having a kid. All kids inevitably turn into monsters.
