Get your fingers ready, kids! If you fast forward to around the 1:10:00 mark of the below podcast, you’ll see that Candyman director Bernard Rose shared a first look at his Frankenstein, which was acquired by Alchemy following its highly acclaimed World Premiere at the Brussels International Fantastic Film Festival, where it was awarded the grand prize, the Golden Raven Award.
Rose directed from his original script based on Mary Shelley’s classic novel. Xavier Samuel stars as the Monster, with Carrie-Ann Moss as Elizabeth Frankenstein, Danny Huston as Victor Frankenstein, and Tony Todd as Eddie.
Frankenstein is set in present day Los Angeles and told entirely from the perspective of the Monster. After he is artificially created, then left for dead by a husband-and-wife team of eccentric scientists, Adam is confronted with nothing but aggression and violence from the world around him. This perfect creation-turned disfigured monster must come to grips with the horrific nature of humanity.
