5.0 out of 5 stars Clever, touching &entertaining; a treat for monster lovers, March 28, 1999

By A Customer

This review is from: Frankenstein & Me [VHS] (VHS Tape)

For those of us who grew up with cinematic monsters, Frankenstein and Me is not only a poignant trip down memory lane, but a validation of secret childhood wonder-feelings that monsters do exist and, if one believes strongly enough, anything is possible. Director Bob Tinnell and his crew (filming exteriors on the very edge of the Mojave desert in Victorville, California while shooting the interiors in Montreal, Canada) have put their heart and soul into this production, creating beautiful, finely detailed sets and scenarios that stand as loving homages to such films as Frankenstein, The Wolf Man, Brides of Dracula and Night of the Living Dead. Though the main character is 12 years old, don't be fooled into thinking Frankenstein and Me is just a "children's film." As Tinnell put it, this is not so much a kid's movie as a fan's movie. Clever, touching and entertaining, Frankenstein and Me is tailor-made for every monster-lover whose heart has remained true to his or her childhood dreams.

Great movie. Funny. This teenage boy lives with his 'rents and a little bro, puts up with a teacher from the oppisite of heaven, and has this major obsession with monsters. He has daydreams sometimes of monster movies with him and his brothe rin them, and sometimes his best friend. The kid's dad dies early in the movie, and (a couple months?) later his friends take him to a carnival to get his mind off of it. At the carnivel, the kid sees the "real" Frankienstien's monster. Later, the carnival packs up and moves out, but accidently leaves behind the frankienstien. The kid statches it, and decides he has to try and make it come alive as a kinda rememberance to his father. Does the monster come to life in the end? you gotta see it to believe it.

Still not quite interested? It's got RYAN GOSLING in it! A shot of him in black & white! If he was the main charecter, I'd give it 5 stars, but anything with Ryan has to have at least 4 stars :)
