Plot summary

From the makers of The Last Exorcism comes a boldly original vision of horror. What if the most chilling novel of all time was actually based on a true account of a horrific experiment gone awry? When he is suspended from his university job for his outlandish ideas, Professor John Venkenheim leads a documentary film crew to the rim of the Arctic Circle in a desperate effort to vindicate his academic reputation. His theory: Mary Shelley's ghastly story, "Frankenstein," is, in fact, a work of non-fiction disguised as fantasy. In the vast, frozen wilderness, Venkenheim and his team search for the legendary monster, a creature mired in mystery and drenched in blood. What they find is an unspeakable truth more terrifying than any fiction...a nightmare from which there is no waking.

Nothing to watch for 2/3 of the film.

This was decent when they decided to get the the meat of the story. For some reason the writers or whoever thought you want to see an hour of build up and 15 min of anything of interest on screen. It felt like they purposely avoided getting to anything to with the subject matter. Idk what the deal was. Could have been good. Wasted time here.

Not deserving of the hate

The Frankenstein Theory is a sequel to the book and not any of the movie adaptations. Jonathan, an obsessed scholar who mirrors the original Antagonist Victor Frankenstein, leads an exposition into northern Canada in search of The Creature.

There have probably been a hundred Frankenstein movies, but this one is a love letter to the original story. If you've read the book (and you should, it's probably the best Science Fiction book ever written.) you will see that they've done their homework. That said there is some simple exposition in the beginning to explain what is at stake, and more about halfway through to raise the stakes.

Technically the movie is much more watchable than other found footage movies, I'm looking at you Paranormal Activity. There is very little shaky cam, and you aren't going to get sick halfway through. The acting is mostly fair with a stand out in Timothy V. Murphy as their guide Carl.

I liked how the story unfolded, good build up to the ending. By no means is this "art" but it's a good, entertaining effort.

Should be the Yawn-enstein theory...

Welcome to the best way of wasting 87 minutes that you will surely never, ever get back in any possible way. This movie was horrible and just lacked any chance of ever being interesting.

The movie is sort of a pseudo-documentary, but the problem is that the movie never manages to take off, and just heads ahead in a speed that is not even a trot. The movie takes forever to get nowhere, and if you don't die from boredom along the ride, you might just die from the absolute sheer lack of purpose there is to the movie.

Essentially, this is just a bunch of people sitting around in various locations and discussing rather pointless and uninteresting things, in regards of Mary Shelley and the Frankenstein myth.

This is without a doubt one of the worst movies I have ever had to suffer through, and I wouldn't wish this upon anything. So a word of warning, you should have an excessive interesting in the Frankenstein myth or have some particular connection to any of the actors or actresses in the movie (or possibly even the director) to find any kind of enjoyment and amusement in this movie.

This was suffering to sit through, to say the least.
