Advanced Language, Flawed Execution

The direction was solid overall, and the production design was visually engaging.One of the most impressive aspects was the richness of language and expression, particularly in the portrayal of the doctor. The mother's character was intriguing, though unfortunately underdeveloped in several key areas. A deeper exploration of her emotional world and psychological depth would have added much-needed weight and resonance to the story.However, some events came across as shallow or unconvincing, and the characters' reactions to them felt either weak or completely absent.Additionally, a few performances such as that of the nurse were noticeably weak.The portrayal of the young woman seeking the book from the mother was especially disappointing; the role had significant potential but failed to deliver any emotional or narrative impact..

Poor writing and Hammy acting make this weak

This is a Frankenstein follow up ??.A woman gets hold of Dr Frankensteins diary and recreates his experiment on her husband to cure him 100 years after Frankensteins original monster.This diary has been sought after by many but a secret group are trying to locate the diary and destroy it for good as it goes against nature and god.Sounds fairly interesting and and the overall concept is solid.The costumes and settings are pretty believable for the time, around late 1800s.The dialogue is a bit wooden however like a stage show, I'm pretty sure this is down to both the writing and the poor way in which the actors deliver the lines attempting to sound authentic from that Era.There are some experienced and decent actors here but I never felt they embraced the ideology or the era properly.Phillip Martin Brown does a decent job here but not enough to carry the film.The way in which it was shot also removed an authentic feel and resembled a higher image quality version of a 90s tv movie.I watched this to see Michelle Ryan as i liked her in Eastenders and the she did Bionic Woman and then her career fizzled out.She appears later in the film in a limited role.There were quite a few moments watching this where I chuckled at some of the poor dialogue or the poor delivery or facial over acting.Honestly Id skip it even if you have Prime, unless you are a huge Frankenstein fan but then you might hate it even more.4/10.

This was indeed a dud...

Needless to say that the 2024 movie "Frankenstein: Legacy" was a movie that had snuck in under the radar undetected. And I happened to come across it by random chance, and thus opted to sit down and watch it. I have to admit, blatantly though, that I harbored zero expectations to writers Paul Dudbridge and Jim Griffin, because the classic Mary Shelley story have been interpreted a tad too many times on the screen, and mostly with subpar result.The storyline in the movie was dull one, to say the least. There wasn't a whole lot of anything interesting happening, and it was more of a period-set drama than a thriller. And that was quite a disappointment.I wasn't familiar with a single actor or actress on the cast list. And that is, believe it or not, actually something that appeals to me when I watch a movie; as there is no association to previously portrayed characters in other movies. The acting performances in "Frankenstein: Legacy" were actually fair enough, despite the fact that the actors and actresses had next to nothing to work with.The CGI in the movie was pretty atrocious for a movie made in 2024; it looked like something from the early 2000s. So having lousy CGI effects definitely didn't help to lift up the movie. And a movie such as what director Paul Dudbridge was trying to deliver here with "Frankenstein: Legacy" needs proper and convincing special effects. And the movie just simply didn't have that, and the end result was a subpar movie.Ultimately a swing and a miss of a movie, and not one I would recommend for horror fans to rush out and get to watch. In fact, I might actually say that you shouldn't waste your time, money and effort on this movie, especially if you are a fan of the original work of Mary Shelley. Some of us suffered through the 101 minutes, so you don't have to; you're welcome.My rating of "Frankenstein: Legacy" lands on a three out of ten stars.
