The Frankenstine Therory

D: It's mockumentary time kiddies. And what 'found' film are we watching this time? A haunted house full of angry ghosts? Possessions that took a turn for the worst? Neither. We are hunting the Frankenstein monster!
We follow a small group of documentary film makers who are interviewing Professor Jonathan Venkenheim, who claims Frankenstein is real and is going to go the frozen artic to find it. The film makers go with him and soon discover that there might be some crazy truth behind the Frankenstein story.
First off, if I may point out...you don't, repeat, don't add music to a mockumentary. This movie did. The point of a 'found footage' movie is that it looks real. That means, no added music or loud noises that distract the illusion. Also you barely get to see the monster. When you do you, its only a minutes worth at most. And the ending...don't get me started on the ending. What they should of done is have them get Frankenstein into the cabin, kick it with him, and have a bowl of mac and cheese. Now there is an ending.


N: The only real time that you see this so called monster is on the front cover, but otherwise this film tries to create a somewhat real perspective of the "Frankensein." Lots of shouting. Complaining. Some jarring of fun. Screams echo into the artic wilderness- from the film crew as they try and survive this ordeal, but in the end we catch a slight glimpse of this monster and before I can understand what has just happened the credits start rolling.
