I must admit that I was definitely expecting a lot more from the 2018 movie anthology "Tales of Frankenstein" given its somewhat above average rating here on IMDb. So of course, with my love for the horror genre and Frankenstein being such an iconic story and character, I found the time to sit down and watch "Tales of Frankenstein".
Well, at least half of it anyway. Then I just simply gave up on the movie out of sheer boredom. This movie anthology was just way too slow paced for my liking, and it was somewhat of a struggle to stay awake as the monotonous stories trotted about on the screen.
And little did it help that the acting in the stories were dubious at best.
This was definitely not a Frankenstein-inspired anthology that appealed to me, nor did it find a home with me. It was just simply too uneventful and mundane for my liking. And I can honestly say that I have no interest in returning to finish the last half of it.
For a horror anthology, then the segments were lacking proper special effects, and the effects that were there just weren't great. Which ultimately did nothing to promote the overall enjoyment of the movie, I am afraid.
My rating of "Tales of Frankenstein" lands on a three out of ten stars.
