Review of I, Frankenstein (2014) by Solidjake — 12 Oct 2014

While the main story concept is a bit odd (I'm still not convinced this needed to tie into Mary Shelley's novel at all)... the sequence of events and story direction were bold in some parts. They really weren't afraid to kill off characters, which is sort of relieving. This movie keeps you watching, really unsure how each fight scene is going to play out. That was nice.

I think the art direction was this movie's main selling point, though. There were a few campy 'glowing eyes' effects here and there, and the buffy-style demon heads were a bit difficult to take seriously, but gargoyle transformations and flight cams were fantastic. The scenery was great, the full-moon lighting was pretty, and the supernatural death effects were some of the coolest I've seen onscreen.

If you like sweeping stories between good and evil, standard angels and demons fanfare, you'll really enjoy watching this movie. Just don't think about it too much.
