Frankenstein Legacy offers a new entry into the Frankenstein saga. The story is engaging, intriguing and taps into the obsession of bringing the dead back to life, at any cost.

The film punches above its budget (much like director Paul Dudbridge's other gothic adventure 'Fear the Invisible Man'). Sets, costumes and locations are all true to the period. Performances are solid and committed. There's a great score and some fantastic VFX work (great rat). There are some great scenes that are captured beautifully by the camera, making the most of the stunning locations.

Paul Dudbridge has made another solid feature film, offering a new take on classic material. There's a confidence in the direction and it brings out the performances of the leading actors.

What you get here is a solid take on the Frankenstein legend. The story sits well in the saga and is an entertaining entry. The look and tone is spot on and the final climax hits with an emotional punch.

Well done to all involved, always great to see independent features being made, making the most of the UK talent and our beautiful locations.

I cant say how disappointed I felt as I sat there watching 'Pacific Rim' - my soul was quite literally sucked out of me as the movie clunked along. My God - seriously I'm not sure how much longer I can take these movies! Its the same every year - trailers start at the turn of the year teasing us with snippets and glimpses of the Summer Blockbusters that are heading our way, we all get excited and wait patiently for them to crash land and how they crash. 'Pacific Rim' is another Big Budget Blockbuster that fails in every area - even if you are a geek fan boy for Robots fighting Monsters i'm sure even you will walk out of the darkness with a sense of being let down. I cant even write a proper review for this one as my motivation has been knocked so badly I feel I may pass out if I start thinking about this movie for too long! Awful script, awful acting, awful characters. With all the skills involved with this movie was this the best we could get? Its B-Movie central all over again. Maybe thats how we should view these summer movies - not as B for Blockbuster but B for the old fashioned, leave brain at the door, turn out the light (inside & out) and let the B-Movies begin - well done Hollywood you have transformed (not pun intended) and created the B-Movie!! The last 2 years of Summer Blockbusters has made me look at the justification of these films - I conclude that we could actual survive without them and instead of using these mega budgets on mega let downs - just give the cash to some charity that needs it - surely that will give us all something to remember unlike 'Pacific Rim'...........
