David Liz, as director and cinematographer, sets up an eerie feel with shaky handheld shots and cut-aways in the dark as the creature stands watching, at times over the couple as they sleep. The film is entertaining, leaving an expectation to see the climatic event where William’s intentions are revealed. However, the lead-up to this was slightly strung out and the final revelation was a little disappointing. The method and process Godwin (who was medically trained) used to prevent bigoted thinking could have been explored and/or Godwin’s larger intentions of how this would affect society. In addition, although creepy, Godwin’s operating room was filled with hanging body parts and skin, but the creature was not intimidating.
In summary, the concept is different and has a Frankenstein feel to it. Relying on one of his successful creations, a former Sheriff, and an assistant named Don, he intends to salvage more body parts for his work. It is worth a watch.
The film is released this February 24th.
