About
"Depraved" is a feature film screening. Director Larry Fessenden describes it as a low-budget re-telling of Mary Shelley's masterpiece, a modern Frankenstein steeped in the national PTSD of the Iraq war and pharmaceutical over-reach, with Alex Breaux as Adam, the doomed creature. It stars David Call, Joshua Leonard, Alex Breaux and Ana Kayne. Fessenden cast an unknown as the monster, as Boris Karloff had been in 1931.

Critics
6.4Good
Critics praise the sympathetic monster performance, timely social themes and faithfulness to Shelley's ideas, while faulting an overlong pace, heavy-handed messaging and a familiar retelling that adds little new.
