I, Frankenstein

This is one of those classic stories of boy meets girl, girl is intrigued by boy, boy is a reanimated corpse that kills demons. That’s right! this week I am talking I, Frankenstein. 

The story of Frankenstein’s monster, who after being shunned by his maker, kills his makers wife, and then leads/is hunted by his maker so far north that he freezes him to death. Being the good Christian monster that he is, he drags the body all the way back to his family burial plot, and gets jumped by demons as soon as he buries him. After descending one of the demons he promptly gets knocked out, but luckily there are some gargoyles on the church nearby, that just happen to be warriors created by the archangel Michael to patrol the earth and fight demons, that swoop in kill the other demons, and take the monster with them to their leader.

Frankenstein’s monster is told all about a secret war that is raging on earth between the Gargoyles and Demons, but nothing like the one between the Vampyr and Lycan war from Underworld… Leonora, the leader of the Gargoyles, allows the monster to go, because she feels he has a special purpose, she gives him a name, Adam, and gives him weapons to defend himself from any further demon attacks.

So about 200 or so years pass, with Adam trying to live a quiet life, out in the middle of nowhere, but he is constantly being attacked by demons. So he decides to return to the city and take the fight to them. But the demons have other plans in mind, using a human front the demons are trying to crack the Frankenstein code of how to reanimate a corpse, with the help of an unwitting beautiful human scientist named Terra…


 So I will start by saying I enjoyed this movie, I also enjoyed all of the Underworld movies, which I understand that they were practically the same movie (see joke above in the third paragraph)mainly I’m sure because they were both written by Kevin Grevioux. You don’t have to rush out and see this movie in theaters, but if you like action monster movies then definitely watch it or pick it up. The effects were really crazy, especially with the Gargoyles, the way they moved and transformed into human form was nifty, but the demons made me feel like I was watching an episode of Buffy or Angel. Aaron Eckhart did a great job as always, but as it was pointed out to me halfway through the movie, he couldn’t decide on how he wanted his gait and kept changing from a normal walk to a stiff legged walk.

 I will leave you at that, until next time cinerds.


I give it a 3 out of 5
