From the makers of The Last Exorcism comes a boldly original vision of horror. 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.

| Yahoo! MoviesStaci Layne WilsonUnfortunately, the film does not deliver on its promise. |
| Washington PostMichael O'SullivanFourteen years after "Blair Witch," has the whole found-footage-horror genre jumped the shark? Maybe. Weiner, however, manipulates its well-worn tropes deftly. |
| User Reviewjarrad bWhat a great film, slow but intense, I wouldn't classify it as a horror though but held my attention right to the end (and that's hard to do). I thought the acting was superb, the cinematography was great, the story was equally as good, seriously the most entertaining movie I've seen in a LONG time! |
| User ReviewPhillip Cgood movie very scary. Enjoyed every moment of the buildup even thought you knew it was going to end badly. |
| User ReviewKyle Mreally super good, I liked it kinda reminded me of a big foot movie, I really like this movie |
| User ReviewThomas WThis movie is not getting great reviews and I really don't understand why. It's certainly not a big budget movie but for fans of horror films this is certainly not bad. It's very similar in style to the Blair Witch Project. I would definitely recommend giving this a watch. |
| User ReviewTimm SI'm a fan of movies that are better than they have a right to be. This one certainly fits the bill. The low-budget feel of it is ever-present, but it still plays out as a sufficiently creepy movie. |
| User ReviewMike S8/10 - I love FF/Mocks and this was really cool. It was slow and had an interesting story, which is just what Docs/Mocks are supposed to do. It makes you think, "Hmmm... maybe this is possible?" I for sure recommend for fans of the genre to Check'r. |
| User ReviewShawn Ma total blair witch remake done with frankenstein, almost the entire plot is identical, all tho it was done decent, it wasn't as spooky and crazy as I was hoping it would be. Honestly wouldn't have given this movie a chance if Lemche wasnt in the cast, but yeah, cool. cool cool. |
| User ReviewLaura MIt's like they watched The Blair Witch Project and went "we could do that but better" and they did. I liked it. |
