Frankenstein (I Swear on My Mother's Eyes) The True Story

About This Movie

Frankenstein (I Swear on My Mother's Eyes) is a curious blend of comedy and horror that takes a shot-on-video approach, making it feel quite unique for its time. You can tell it’s a low-budget TV movie, but there's an unmistakable charm in the way it melds laughs with the classic Frankenstein mythos. Co-written and starred by Gary Cohen, who had a hand in Video Violence, you can see his playful take on the material. The pacing is a bit off at times, oscillating between humor and horror, but it captures a certain DIY spirit. The practical effects have their own kind of roughness, adding to the overall atmosphere. It's a film that definitely stands out for its quirky nature and tongue-in-cheek style.
