An interesting "What if...?" extension of the classic horror tale
"The Frankenstein Theory" harks back to Mary Shelley's 1818 novel, "Frankenstein," by posing the question, "What if the story of a man who dared to steal the secret of creation were true?"<br /><br />When he is suspended from his university position for outlandish ideas, Prof. John Venkenheim (Kris Lemche) leads a documentary film crew to the rim of the Arctic Circle in a desperate effort to vindicate his theory that Shelley's literary classic is, in fact, a work of non-fiction disguised as fantasy and restore his academic reputation.  In the vast, frozen wilderness, Venkenheim and his team search for the legendary monster, a creature nearly three centuries old and still shrouded in mystery.<br /><br />"The Frankenstein Theory" makes a far-fetched idea palatable by establishing that Venkenheim's team are skeptical of his obsessive mission.  They wink, roll their eyes, smirk.  We pretty much feel the same way, yet we're drawn in by these doubters.  Director Andrew Weiner taps iconic source material, and his central character --- a variation in subtler form of the mad doctor -- is an appropriate ingredient in this unrated DVD release.  There are no bonus extras.

Here is a brief synopsis of the title : From the makers of The Last Exorcism comes a boldly original vision of horror – THE FRANKENSTEIN THEORY. What if the most chilling novel of all time was actually based on a true account of a horrific experiment gone awry? 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..
