Frankenstein
review by

Jasmin's (Jasmin Flores) estranged father (Tom C. Niksson), a
successful horror writer, has just died, and Jasmin goes through his
things and finds out for his latest, unpublished collection of short
stories, he has used a centuries old book of black magic that is supposed
to bring his stories to life - quite literally as Jasmin finds out. The
stories in question are:
- It's a zombie outbreak, and like all others, Genny (Denyse Hollis)
panics - and she only very slowly comes to the realization that she's
actually a zombie and cannot fight her zombie urges ...
- A couple (Luke Couzens, Camilla Crawford) find their dream home, and
all it needs is some fixing up - and since they've run out of money
buying the house, they just decide to do it themselves, with little
expertise but lots of love - only, they soon have to realize love can
only take them so far ...
- Rich daughter Tiffany (Jordan Flippo) goes on a camping trip with
her middle class college friends - which goes well until she
accidently shoots dead her boyfriend (Nelson JoaQuin), then has to
shoot dead everyone else to cover her tracks ...
- After Frankenstein (John Paul Fedele) accidently kills his wife
(Valerie Bittner), he brings her back to life - again and again, he
just never gets it quite right ...
As a fan of old school anthologies and EC
Comics, one just cannot help but love this movie, a collection of
macabre shorts that favour an old school approach to storytelling - but
old school in the best possible way, where build-up, characters and twists
still win out over spectacle, and where everything is laced in irony,
sometimes more sometimes less apparent. And a genre savvy directorial
effort and a spirited cast bring the whole thing to life rather
beautifully.
