Depraved
A field surgeon suffering from PTSD after combat in the Middle East creates a living human out of body parts in his Brooklyn lab.
Why it matters
A gritty, grounded take on Frankenstein that explores trauma through a harrowing indie lens.
- Larry Fessenden’s indie spirit shines in a Brooklyn-set body horror that favors atmosphere over spectacle.
- Practical effects and intimate camerawork root the grotesque in a believable, claustrophobic reality.
- A somber, PTSD-driven narrative offers a soldier’s perspective rarely seen in monster tales.
- Not revolutionary, but a solid, thoughtful addition for fans of character-driven horror and modern retellings.
