I am a big fan of Wes Craven but I have to admit that his involvement in a film does not always guarantee good results. This one is certainly a very good example of an uninspired exercise. As usual, it starts with the story which, in this case, is not so good. It's basically another take on the Frankenstein concept set in the American suburbs. The first half of the movie slowly sets up what is to come while the second half of the film is as predictable as it gets. The cast is comprised of a few not well known teenagers (with the exception of Kristy Swanson) and a few adults, not so well known either. They all do a pretty ordinary acting job with a pretty ordinary dialogue. The sets and locations are quite typical as well as the soundtrack and the camera work is appropriate. Not much special effects here and no spectacular death scenes. If you're a Wes Craven fan, you may want to see this but you will have a hard time believing that he actually directed this rather boring film.
