Frankenstein's Monster's Monster, Frankenstein

Thoroughly enjoyed this short film and Harbour's take on an Orson Welles-type father. It reminded me of Welles' old Paul Masson wine commercials, mixed with some SCTV and old, crusty British stage productions performed on the BBC. Harbour can do no wrong!

I was surprised by this Netflix One shot, I was going pass it by, as most of Netflix Canada is boring as can be. I really enjoyed the retro silliness of the PBS feel and the ads for London, USA. This, if dry wit and absurdity is not your thing, you will not enjoy. But give it a try it might surprise you.

This mockumentary is not going to be for everyone but I enjoyed it. It kind of reminded me of an episode of "Inside No 9" with its off kilter humour and the addition of Alfred Molina was a real treat. This was obviously a real labour of love for David Harbour and that comes across in every line. As I said, not for everyone but it worked for me.

Some people are going to love the type of comedy in this short film whereas I know others will not understand it nor find it funny,

I was watching this with a friend, I was laughing frequently. If you're not a fan of subtle absurd humour then I wouldn't recommend it, I honestly just found it as a fun half hour to just revel in its absurdity, which is of course it's biggest strength with the stupid twists that make no sense but don't fail to make me laugh.

Tongue in cheek - that's the saying. Not sure if Frankensteins monster actually had a tongue - well a functioning one, like a human being. And I mean in the book. I have to admit I never read it, but I've seen quite a few of the interpretations. And David Harbour starring in this one, is quite funny. While there is some disagreement about his ability to fill in Ron Perlmans Hellboy shoes, I think we can agree his spot on here.

It's short and sweet, or rather funny. It works on quite a few levels, riffing on the "name calling" and other cliches that have been grown over the years. If you are a fan of the genre or the specific "tale", there is much to find here. Kudos to the filmmakers and everyone involved
