I found this to be a bit more interesting than some of the other documentary style found footage films I've seen. The story is basically about a descendant of the real Dr Frankenstein trying to prove that there really is a monster, and that the novel was not really a work of fiction as everyone believes it to be. He has made it his life's work and is obsessed with proving his theory. No one really believes him and think he's nuts (including his wife), but a documentary crew led by a personal friend of his follow him to Canada where he is convinced he will find the monster.

I've seen some really negative reviews about this film, but I don't think it's too bad.

The Frankenstein Theory is another horror film made in the style of a faux documentary. Basically, a film crew follows a Professor around while he tries to redeem himself after being fired from his job. I know I say this a lot, but this movie started out extremely slow. Probably one of the slowest found footage horrors I've ever seen all the way through. I can't even really critique what happened in the first hour because I'm pretty sure my brain shut off. It starts to finally pick up when they're out camping in the snow and even then, it's really the last 15 minutes or so that are interesting. The ending was a little creepy, but I don't know if it's worth watching an hour of film that's boring, just to get to a few minutes of entertainment. I would definitely wait till this movie is available on Redbox or streaming through Netflix. But I don't suggest renting it at full price on VOD or you will be majorly disappointed.

I think what bothered me the most about this movie is that it couldn't decide what kind of movie it would be. Is this a found footage documentary or is it a traditional movie? It's hard to suspend belief when things like this are inconsistent. For instance, there are 5 people in the group at one point. They are all in a tent. The camera holder is in a sleeping bag. So who is holding the camera? Also, if this is found footage, what is there music and sounds during the "boo" moments? It was questions like these that made it hard for me to get into. It was pretty slow, but I appreciate the slow burn kinda movie, so that didn't bug me too much. The acting was solid. Nothing great, but nothing laughable, either.
