Was drawn into seeing 'Frankenstein vs. The Mummy' with a cool poster/cover, a very intriguing if not creative premise and as someone with a general appreciation for horror. That it was low-budget, which from frequent personal experience is rarely a good sign due to that there are so many poor ones out there, made me though apprehensive. From the title, one would understandably think that 'Frankenstein vs. The Mummy' would be an affectionate homage to the Universal and Hammer House of Horror films, have a lot of fondness for them mostly and there are a lot of classics. That cannot be said for 'Frankenstein vs. The Mummy' and an affectionate homage or a well-made and well-put-together film it is not. As has been said already, the title is very misleading, the two monsters are mostly apart and their one "battle", or one scene together, is far too brief and neither creepy or exciting. It's actually treated rather indifferently.It's not an appealing film to look at. The limitations in budget shows throughout in almost every area, it all looks drab and hastily put together in particularly the editing and effects look like they were constructed on the small remains of the small budget having been neglected. The two monsters, especially the lumbering Frankenstein monster, are not that creepy and their scenes individually are not suspenseful or that atmospheric at all. None of the rest of the characters engage or endear, with the lead character frustratingly characterised as a complete idiot. The acting is weak at best, with Max Rhyser and Ashton Leigh lacking charisma, Boomer Tibbs reduced to pantomime and Brandon deSpain and Constantin Tripes failing to bring menace to the titular characters. Stefanie Merola comes off least badly, at least having some allure and spots of charm. The script is a cheesy, awkward and limp mess and the story takes too long to get going and never properly comes to life. Suspense and creepiness are nowhere in sight and some of it is insultingly ridiculous. Only one other thing, the other being Merola's allure, redeems the film from an irredeemable film to a very bad one and that is the make-up. It looked as though a lot of effort went into it, looking like most of the budget was dedicated to it in fact, and provides some eeriness. Sad that it deserved a much better film.All in all, very bad with a misleading title. 2/10 Bethany Cox
I have no idea why they gave this name. The two monsters do not even see each other, only for like ten minutes. In the end. This movie is like you lock a few guys into a studio and they start to create something with the tools, like skins, makeups, stuff, poor quality cameras. Then we can see the end. Sometimes the monsters are thinking, sometimes they do not. Sometimes they are angry, sometimes they love. I felt like it is a long trailer of something that a kid made on his phone.Let me add, i love the original story of Frankenstein! Az i was excited about this movie. I even liked the movies Mummy. But this... XD
If we were reviewing college movies, I would give this a solid 5, and B for the movie making class.But since this is a real movie, it's just barf. To be fair, I took one look at the terrible post production, flat acting, and fast forwarded right through it at 20x. I caught maybe one action scene. They get an extra point for decent makeup.Some of the issues might be fixed by a re-edit and better post production. It needs to be really tightened up. I'm surprised no one stopped the director and asked them, what they were doing.This is MST:3k material.
I never, ever write reviews, but this was a train wreck of acting, storyline, (what story line ...?) execution, delivery, I can't even find the words to explain what I just watched. There was no sense of a plausible story behind this. Why did one woman become the obsessive desire of two monsters and on the same night no less! And why did she go from complete disgust to undying love towards her one night stand? What dredges did the creators of this "movie" drag it up from? Someone apparently owed someone a big favor. I can't imagine someone actually thought was presentable for viewing to the public. You can't even make a drinking game out of this! It is non-redeemable and utter crap and a waste of my good time that I can never get back, do not waste your time on this.
