Frankenstein's Monster's Monster, Frankenstein
When actor David Harbour finds lost footage of his father's disastrous televised stage play of a literary classic, he uncovers shocking family secrets.
Critics Sentiment
Alfred Molina makes his appearance in the documentary
Scene with David Harbour Sr's mother is particularly awkward
The film jumps from its lowest point during the awkward mother scene to a high when Alfred Molina appears, gaining 3.6 points.
The mockumentary divides audiences sharply between those who appreciate its absurdist humor and those who find it pointless and unfunny. The cheap Frankenstein TV movie production scenes and Alfred Molina's appearance are consistent highlights, while the documentary investigation storyline and office interview segments drag down the overall experience. The film succeeds as a niche comedy for viewers who enjoy deliberately bad acting and meta-theatrical absurdity.
