Frankenstein: Legacy

The mention of Frankenstein has always attracted allot of attention and expectations, the story line goes back ages, with fans from all age groups.. that last one Frankenstein angels and demons was a blockbuster fans couldnt get enough of it, that was real acting, money well spent. This Frankenstein legacy of 2024 on the other hand is the opposite, low budget, terrible characters, the doctors mom was nothing to write home about, the doctor though showed potential. In my opinion the worse action in this movie was the lady that was on a journey to find and destroy the journal, she was TERRIBLE, trigger happy, the role was usless, I wouldn't let her act a village movie.

I recently watched this gem on Amazon, and I must say, it left quite an impression. The characters were wonderfully crafted, and the storyline held a firm grip throughout. It's easy to develop a genuine empathy for these characters. Plus, it had all the delightful madness of a classic mad scientist narrative, which is right up my alley. And let me tell you, the conclusion is an absolute whirlwind of emotions. Prepare to have your heartstrings tugged, particularly in the moments involving family and the monstrous.

Having enjoyed Paul's previous work, 'Fear the Invisible Man,' I had high hopes for this one, and I wasn't disappointed. The team truly knocked it out of the park.

From direction to storytelling, cinematography to score, every aspect of this film is stellar. The actors breathed life into the legacy of Frankenstein like never before.

As someone aspiring to venture into film production myself, this serves as a prime example of what independent producers can achieve with dedication and a commitment to delivering an immersive artistic experience. It's a testament to the power of storytelling and the creation of characters so compelling that you can't help but stay invested until the very end. And oh, what a journey it is for these wonderful characters!

Frankenstein Legacy offers a new entry into the Frankenstein saga. The story is engaging, intriguing and taps into the obsession of bringing the dead back to life, at any cost.

The film punches above its budget (much like director Paul Dudbridge's other gothic adventure 'Fear the Invisible Man'). Sets, costumes and locations are all true to the period. Performances are solid and committed. There's a great score and some fantastic VFX work (great rat). There are some great scenes that are captured beautifully by the camera, making the most of the stunning locations.

Paul Dudbridge has made another solid feature film, offering a new take on classic material. There's a confidence in the direction and it brings out the performances of the leading actors.

What you get here is a solid take on the Frankenstein legend. The story sits well in the saga and is an entertaining entry. The look and tone is spot on and the final climax hits with an emotional punch.

Well done to all involved, always great to see independent features being made, making the most of the UK talent and our beautiful locations.

Well, I had no idea what to expect on this movie. I thought maybe it was a horror film and I had not seen the previews or at least that made me remember anything about it. So I went in kind of blind, not having any expectations on this movie. But I found myself laughing in some of this movie and it kept me entertained and that's what a movie is for so I do believe it deserves at least a rating of five or higher. You won't be bored in it and for any of the younger folks, they were really find the movie, enjoyable, and funny. It's one of those movies that teens can see and it's just not a horrible or provocative show. So I felt like it was a movie that was fine for teenagers.

For a low budget film, I thought this was a very good effort that keeps in the spirit of Shelley's classic. The location of the old house was great and I think the best coup of the film. Great use of sets and decent acting. It was fun to see Michelle Ryan (Zoe from Eastenders) in a role again though wish she was in it more.

Small complaints were that I think some of the character scenes went on for too long and not enough of the monster. Also the location of the old house made other locations really stand out as sets (cut from a beautiful stately home to cheap looking special effects of an asylum)

Otherwise, great watch for a lazy afternoon.
