About
You may like this if you enjoy old-school Gothic horror with a bleak asylum setting, grisly mad-science thrills, and a melancholy streak, especially if Frankenstein or Bride of Re-Animator worked for you; Not for you if you want fast pacing or polished effects.
Pros: gloomy asylum setting; strong lead performance; tragic monster angle | Cons: familiar story beats; cheap-looking monster; limited scope
