Modern day Frankenstein

Rating: 9/10 (31 May 2018)

The movie is a contemporary Frankenstein enhanced with a racial edge. It is indeed a horror movie as classified but carries none of the worn-out cliches of this genre like an eerie soundtrack, spooky settings, creepy kids, cheap jolts, paranormal events all of which test our intelligence and patience because we've seen them over and over again. Although the main idea is 200 years old, the movie doesn't dwell on it but only makes a passing reference, thus keeping its originality. All in all, this is a brilliantly made movie worth seeing.
