“If death is a disease then, there’s a cure…and I’m going to find it.”

Story is one of a kind..a different take on Mary Shelly’s “Frankenstein” monster.

Fresh take that centers around a brilliant Black teen named Vicaria who tries to reanimate her brother who was killed in the drug trade. How she got that smart I will never know–supposedly, she is smart enough to do so. Her plan backfires because the reanimation experiment took so long that her brother revived as a terrorizing, murdering and noncommunicating monster instead. He can only communicate with her little niece. This experiment prepares her for the next one.

Wonderful imagination.

Written and directed by Bomani J. Story. Filmed in Charlotte, N.C. with mostly local actors.

Great actors in this film:

Laya De Leon Hayes as Vicaria.

Denzel Whitaker as head drug dealer, Kango.

Keith Holliday as Jamaal, opposing drug dealer.

Chad Coleman as their father, Donald.

Robin Michele Lee as mother Evy.

These are among the great actors in the movie. I forrowed the movie from the library.
