Kiss of Frankenstein

About This Movie

Kiss of Frankenstein is this fascinating little gem that dives into some twisted themes of identity and monstrosity. Filmed in a canning factory, the atmosphere is both claustrophobic and oddly surreal, thanks to the unique setting. The dialogue was recorded in a toilet, which lends a certain DIY charm, and the production values certainly reflect the constraints of its $500 budget. The performances by the grad students have that raw quality, capturing a genuine sense of urgency and creativity. There's this haunting mix of humor and horror that lingers after watching, and the practical effects, while rudimentary, add a distinct flavor that's hard to shake off.

Kiss of Frankenstein is a curious piece in the indie film landscape, especially given its origins as a student project. Its scarcity makes it an intriguing find for collectors, as it’s not widely distributed, and I’d wager many haven’t come across it. There's a certain charm in its rough edges that appeals to those who appreciate unconventional filmmaking—perfect for anyone interested in the evolution of student films.
