Chicago – If your heart flutters when you think about the drive-in days of old, with a triple feature of B-movie horror films, then writer/director Ricardo Islas delivers a nostalgic kick with “Frankenstein: Day of the Beast.” The film has its world premiere in Chicago on Sunday, November 27th, at the Portage Theater on Milwaukee Avenue.
Rating: 3.0/5.0
It has all the familiar Frankenstein monster elements, but also delivers a certain style and authority that allows it to make its own mark. The acting, setting, costumes and dialogue screams drive-in movie fare, but the production gamely reaches out to retell the myth with a little sex, a lot of gore and an interesting take on the reanimation portion of the monster. There is a vague application as to the time and place of where the film is set, and the actors are very comfortable being their Midwestern selves, but this horror...

The story of the Frankenstein monster is one of the most enduring tales in the history of horror. From Mary Shelley's original telling through the classic 1931 film and the sequels that followed to the multiple new visions of the tale, it seems the possibilities for expanding on the experiments of Dr. Frankenstein are endless. And now we've got an upcoming film bringing an entirely new angle to the tale.
Frankenstein: Day of the Beast is an original take on the legend. As you'll see by the trailer below, the film contains aspects of Shelley's original story but adds a large amount of action to the mix. The film was written and directed by Ricardo Islas and stars Adam Stephenson and Michelle Shields with Tim Krueger in the role of the monster.

From the Press Release:
On a cold and snowy day, filmmaker Ricardo Islas and his crew ventured into the woods of Illinois to begin filming Frankenstein: The Day of the Beast. For several weeks the cast and crew would endure blizzards and freezing temperatures as Islas directed the cabin scenes. The only heat to be had was from the actual fireplace in an authentic historic cabin. The result was incredible. From there the cast and crew traveled to a very old abandoned church in Chicago to film the wedding scene. With the sunlight shooting rays of light through the stained glass...
