The Angry Black Girl and Her Monster

It's meant to be scary in 1 hour and 32 minutes!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! The USA grossed over $118,700.00!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Vicaria (Laya DeLeon Hayes), a young brainiac, attempts to bring her deceased brother back to life in order to rid her neighborhood of crime. I've been looking forward to this one for a long time and was disappointed. The first half, anchored by Hayes impressive acting skills, is engaging. Then the story falters and is unsure where it wants to go. Societal topics aren't fleshed out and the tale becomes shallow. I think the film would've been served humanizing the monster with flashbacks of her brother when he was alive.

I wasn't drawn in by the story line or the actors. I'm against being for or against anything based solely on skin tone, including this movie.

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…….
