THE DOCTOR'S MONSTER

Cinemavixion Review

Rick Jenkins' 'The Doctor's Monster' presents a chilling, albeit low-budget, take on the Frankenstein mythos, set against the backdrop of a father's desperate gamble. The film plunges into the dark heart of ambition when a reclusive doctor, driven by the imminent loss of his daughter, embarks on a forbidden experiment: reanimating the deceased. While the initial success of his creation is met with a flicker of triumph, this is swiftly overshadowed by the horrifying realization that his resurrected being has broken free, unleashing a wave of unpredictable destruction. The narrative effectively builds tension as the doctor grapples with the monstrous consequences of his actions. The ensuing chaos is depicted through a series of escalating events, where survival becomes paramount and the line between humanity and monstrosity blurs. The film's strength lies in its raw, unvarnished portrayal of desperation and the ethical quandaries of playing God. Despite a modest production, 'The Doctor's Monster' offers a thought-provoking, if unsettling, exploration of a classic theme, reminding audiences that some doors, once opened, can never be closed.
