This movie would probably hit way harder if they set it about 25 years later. This is supposed to be a 2015 world, and it is solidly on its 2000 milieu. Needed something more to make me believe it.

You have to understand that I love a slasher film, and my bar for calling one "bad" is very high. I know the plot is going to be nonsensical, I know there is going to be gratuitous sex/gore and one liners so cringe you physically react to them. It's part of the package.

Peter Cushing being as creepy as ever as Dr. Frankenstein, who has moved out of his castle and into...another castle and changed his name to...Dr. Stein. Nobody is going to put two and two together, I guess?
