Bad Ben 14: Frankenstein

About This Movie

So, Bad Ben 14: Frankenstein is quite the ride. It's got this blend of horror and comedy that's genuinely bizarre. You’ve got Tom Riley, this hapless guy just trying to make a buck, and he’s knee-deep in assembling body parts into a lover. The pacing feels like a rollercoaster—some slow bits that build tension, then suddenly, it hits you with slapstick moments. The practical effects are delightfully gnarly, sticking to that DIY aesthetic, which really fits the offbeat tone. Performances are all over the place, but that’s part of the charm, right? It’s a madcap take on the Frankenstein story, and you can’t help but appreciate how it embraces its own ridiculousness.
