SanEat A film with more than the usual spoiler issues. Talking about it in any detail feels akin to handing you a gift-wrapped present and saying, "I hope you like it -- It's a thriller about a diabolical secret experiment."
Ogosmith Each character in this movie — down to the smallest one — is an individual rather than a type, prone to spontaneous changes of mood and sometimes amusing outbursts of pettiness or ill humor.
Lachlan Coulson This is a gorgeous movie made by a gorgeous spirit.
Stephanie There is, somehow, an interesting story here, as well as some good acting. There are also some good scenes
Freshslatepictures Let me start by saying this: If you get the chance, check out the movie.The writer/Director, Leigh Scott, seems to catch a lot of flack, particularly here on IMDb, and after seeing a good portion of his work now, it's unwarranted.It struck me about half way through that there are a LOT less cuts in it, than you normally see in a movie, but here's the thing, I'm not sure this is bad Directing/lack of planning. I think it's got more to do with the turn-around time that Asylum sets, rather than "poor Directing".The acting was above average, I'm a BIG Rhett Giles fan, after this. The man has charisma. You have gorgeous women, the majority of which are good/great actresses, too. And can any red-blooded man REALLY complain about decent amounts of nudity? It's a bonus.I liked the monster make-up, and the sfx blood/gore was about on par with movies of this budget.My one complaint was that it was nearly impossible to hear Rhett in the interrogation scenes, due to audio. I had to turn the TV up all the way. Still wasn't enough to take me out of it, though.That's mostly due to an excellent script, and a lead actor that could carry it. As I said, watch the movie if you get the chance. Don't assume it's terrible based on peoples' unwarranted Leigh Scott hate, or Asylum mockbuster tales. Is it perfect? No. Is it better than a LOT of other low-budget horror flicks? Absolutely.
The_Depressed_Star_Wars_fan This is a f**king terrible film. Let's start with the story. The story of Frankenstein is re-told in modern times. An idea that the writer or director though was original when in fact there were already a few other movies that already utilized that idea. In fact nothing about this film that's original. It doesn't do any thing new with the story. A lot of the elements are taken from better Frankenstein films, and other times the movie feels like it's trying to be some cliché slasher movie. Actually the slasher movie elements seem to be an attempt to make the film stand out from all the other Frankenstein re-tellings, but it only makes it more forgettable. The acting in this movie is nothing special, and unfortunately there is nothing more to say about it other than that. It's the same story with the special effects, there really nothing special. In the end this is a very forgettable film that is probably best left forgotten in the minds of movie viewers.
Poe-17 This isn't a bad film, just (probably) shouldn't have called upon the Frankenstein mythology in it's title. Various and numerous films and tales have approached the "bring the dead back to life" idea. "Frankenstein" doesn't own the franchise on this. Call the work ... oh, I don't know, ... Re-Animator or something. It isn't a great film, possibly earning "good" by the grace of the "we-love-horror" crowd. Some nice "re-animating" scenes. It never aspired to "mind shattering" and shouldn't be faulted for not achieving that. Dropping the name-dropping "Frankenstein" and just calling it "Reborn" would have worked just fine. And would have been more honest. Still, with all its faults, and bows to some killer scenes (and some forced ones), it isn't a horrible movie. It just doesn't belong in the Frankenstein lineage. Nice watch.
tfxd I know the time frame and budget constrictions of this project on a personal level. I am proud of the film and it's cast and crew for the effort that went into FRAKKENSTEIN REBORN. You folks who are so carelessly slamming the film should know that it is harsh to do business at the "direct to" level. You are lucky to get any one person on set with passion, drive and selflessness. The cast and crew believed in the project and stand by it, even going so far as to tear the film and each other apart, rather hilariously so, during the audio commentary. If you can do better I would love to see it. Thanks for your heckling from your dark lonely corner of the rental arena, and thanks for renting. Hey, we in the biz don't really care what you say about us as long as we affect you in some way. As for me, I can't wait to see what The ASYLUM did by way of a WEREWOLF picture with THE BEAST OF BRAY ROAD. As for spoilers, nope, none here just wanted your attention, thanks again.
