an obscure adaptation of frankenstein, but i expected it to be worse. the (very few) other reviews already discuss the annoying narrator, the poor makeup and effects, and the unsurprising storyline, so i’ll focus on other aspects of this film.
i am incredibly biased because i love female frankensteins (and frankensteins in general), but i think this was kind of fun? it was overwhelmingly campy — in what i’m nearly positive was mostly an unintentional manner — but i love camp, so that only furthered my enjoyment of *corpsing.
*
the color to black & white film transitions seemed to have absolutely no point and were honestly just distracting. maybe to pay homage to frankenstein (1931)? or maybe i’m giving corpsing too much credit*.
*
there are a couple of instances of feminism shining through, which is often vital to the frankenstein narrative, but in making the lead, (shelly, what a creative name!), a woman, a lot of that feminism is lost or rebranded, particularly when romance is involved.
it really isn’t a good movie, if i’m being honest. i found myself waiting for it to be over sooner and being disappointed when i checked the remaining time and it was longer than i expected.
