I once read that if you give a typewriter infinite time to a monkey, such monkey will eventually type Hamlet, for instance.
In the case of "Dark Tape", somebody gave a bunch untalented people some filming equipment and not enough time... The result is "Dark Tapes".

It is not because someone wrote a famous book that his or her life is interesting, or deserving a film.
In the case of Mary Shelley, her book Frankenstein is really boring. Film adaptations of the story are usually much more interesting and vibrant than the original. She became famous because of it, but her fame in my opinion is undeserving.
And this film is as boring or more than her book. Too much talk, too little drama or action or anything interesting. I guess that the life of her gardener, butcher, mailman whoever would be as interesting or more than hers.
I guess that not even hard core feminists can sit through "Mary Shelley". It is coma inducing.
I would recommend "Mary Shelley" only for those who are sleep deprived and in need of a non-addictive soporific

Bradbury and Truffaut are for sure turning in their graves.
It seems to me that the idea of a remake nowadays is to make such remake as PC as possible destroying in the process as much as possible of the original story to render it unrecognizable.
Take Michelangelo's David for instance. Remakes is the same as adding another arm, two extra legs, castrating and painting the statue. Thats's what they did to Fahrenheit 451.
Nothing works in this aberration.
Still I recommend that people watch it. It shows exactly how the 21st century newspeak and thought police operate.
