Writer and director Bernard Rose ('Candyman') discussed his modern-day rendition of the classic horror story 'Frankenstein' at the Film Society's annual Scary Movies festival.
From the terrifically imaginative mind of Bernard Rose (who gave us the fantasy-horror classics 'Paperhouse' and 'Candyman') comes the latest retelling of Mary Shelley’s immortal tale. Updated to present-day Los Angeles, the film retains much of its source material’s key story elements and sentiments as two married scientists (Danny Huston and Carrie-Ann Moss) finally achieve perfection. Beautiful and gentle, their latest artificial creation (wonderfully embodied by Xavier Samuel) does indeed seem flawless, but his mind and body soon begin dramatically deteriorating. Left for dead, he enters the outside world—only to be further taken down by the hate that festers there. This violent, heartbreaking, wholly memorable experience, told from the perspective of the “monster,” also features Tony Todd (Candyman himself) as the blind man who provides temporary, judgment-free shelter. An Alchemy release.
