The Frankenstein Theory
Directed by Andrew Weiner
Produced by Rocket Studios, Inner Station
A found-footage horror film that reframes Shelley's classic as documentary evidence, building paranoia and dread through the Arctic wilderness search for a legendary creature.
When he is suspended from his university job for his outlandish ideas, Professor John Venkenheim leads a documentary film crew to the rim of the Arctic Circle in a desperate effort to vindicate his academic reputation. His theory: Mary Shelley's ghastly story, "Frankenstein," is, in fact, a work of non-fiction disguised as fantasy. In the vast, frozen wilderness, Venkenheim and his team search for the legendary monster, a creature mired in mystery and drenched in blood. What they find is an unspeakable truth more terrifying than any fiction...a nightmare from which there is no waking.
