Review of The Frankenstein Syndrome (2010) by Rebel R — 25 Feb 2012

I am a fan of unhappy endings when they are suitable, in more than just the horror genre of films. I can even appreciate endings of uncertainty when they have a purpose (one good example being "The Graduate").

But the last half hour of this movie is buckshot, sprayed in all different directions without any attempt to hit a target. I would not care so much except this movie has a potentially good story to tell, so it's easy to get sucked in if you start watching.

Then it deflates slowly enough that you don't notice in time to avoid wasting all of the 90 minutes it takes to watch it. If even one person reads this and can save an hour and a half of their life for something else then this rating has not been in vain.
