I was worried a bit that I had checked out a DVD from the library that would turn out to be a waste of time. Luckily, I was wrong.
The story, based on the original Frankenstein by Mary Shelley, while not an original idea, was well adapted and executed. The actors did a great job and the cinematography and scenery were up to the necessary standards for what they trying to do.
While the tension was not too high (it might have been higher if I was in a theater), there were only a few well handled jump scares. The movie was more horror than fright and a theme of family ran through it. The monster was more murderous than in the original book and this time the little girl didn't die. She was, however, adorable and a good actress.
Full suspension of disbelief was there and the ending was new.
I can definitely recommend it to horror fans, but if you like being scared out of your wits, you might want to try something else. But watch this one eanyway.
