The Angry Black Girl and Her Monster

silly...boring...slowly feels like many movies get automatically overrated as soon as they are about afro-american culture...and i'm just tired of that...it's not even close to "a new Frankenstein"-version as so many of the critics claim...but a great waste of time!!!

Many stories have taken after Frankenstein either through period lenses or frivolously, except for this one not only modernizing the story with trueful gravity but verifies why the horrific tale is timeless. There’s a costly balance between man’s grip on nature and birthing innocence that can be interpreted as symbolic, and this film transcends the thought seeping social commentary with remarkable parallels and strong argumentative points, heralded by Laya DeLeon Hayes’ breakthrough performance and Bomani J. Story’s debuting topical approach as well reconfiguring few tropes, even if the violent tendency is rather much to a devastating point. (B)

This film was original in it's own way though it was a take on a classic story. It was well written and directed as well has had a fresh cast of great talent.

Worst movie i have seen in a while!! The acting and story is absolutely terrible. Honestly don’t get how this movie has good reviews.

Absolutely stunning. Harrowing. Heartbreaking, yet with a beautifully morbid sense of uplifting pride and power. It has this melancholic air of dread with a feeling of helplessness that’s like a vice grip around your soul tightening harder and harder until it bursts from the sheer willpower of beating what we thought was inevitable. You’re literally jumping out of your seat, not from the scares, but from satisfaction of seeing the protagonists getting their vengeance. Social commentary and critique of disparity within a community that’s notoriously overlooked, blended with an age old narrative that Hollywood and literature has beaten it to the ground. A fresh take on a very old fable that’s pure perfection in every sense of the word. I cannot praise this film enough. Keep an eye out for the writer/director of this gem; going places is an understatement.

I wanted to like the movie but I couldn't, and the main character was over the top playing into a stereotype.

The movie made me angry watching it. The main character was overly opinionated and very arrogant. I actually felt bad for the monster. He did not intentionally hurt anyone…….

A fresh take on an old tale that unfortunately suffers from bad writing and directing. It shines brightest when depicting horror, whether that horror is a monster or a depiction of life in a slum. But it wanders far from horror too often for it to be a coherent tale. It's good if you don't ask too many questions, but it could have been much better.

The beginning of this movie was interesting enough like a reinvented life of Frankenstein and his monster, but sadly, the later half does become a murder fest when the plot loses sight of it. The acting was okay, although the mani lead is the best as a young mad scientist as mad monster movies make their lead to be as such. Even a fair amount of heartfelt scenes carry the movie okay along the way. My main disappointment was the ending of the movie along with what seems to be a quick sweep under the rug motive when nothing was learned after the whole movie had passed. It's an okay film only to recommend if you're into mad monster/scientist kind of movies in any shape and form. 6/10.

Urban Frankenstein. Fun Stuff.
