Frankenstein (2015) is a modernized telling of the legendary tale that I recently watched on Prime. The storyline follows a scientist and his wife working on bringing dead cells to life. They are successful and create a living human from spare body parts. The monster they create they leave to become an orphan and eventually a homeless person begging for funds to survive. When things become desperate so do his actions. He'd love to get revenge for what his "parents" did to him...

This movie is written and directed by Bernard Rose (Candyman) and stars Tony Todd (Candyman), Carrs-Anne Moss (The Matrix), Xavier Samuel (Fury), Danny Huston (21 Grams) and Maya Erskine (DC League of Super Pets).

This was way better than I anticipated. The storyline was very interested and the sub plots they modernized were well written. I adored the cast and characters. Numerous strong performances in this picture. I loved Tony Todd and Maya Erskine in this and Samuel delivers a strong leading performance too. Moss was ruthless in this film and reminded me of her character in Momento. There's definitely some good kill scenes, gore, blood splatter and his skin was wild. The hospital breakout and sequences with police were outstanding. The ending was worthwhile.

Overall, this is an underrated addition to the horror genre that's a fun watch. I would score this a 7/10 and strongly recommend it.
