el Cambion Frankenstein (2004)This was made for TV on the USA network and had fine production values.A twist on the classic Frankenstein story. This one takes place in modern-day New Orleans where a detective investigates a series of murders.But the 'Frankenstein monster' is an intelligent 200 year old looking for his "maker" (a Victor Helios, also 200 years old, keeping himself alive with genetic experiments) who is creating synthetic humans from stolen body parts to eventually replace mankind.It had a bit of an unusual ending and I see it was originally designed to be the pilot of a series... which explains the ending. Turns out it was based on the book "Frankenstein: the Prodical Son" by Dean Koontz and Kevin Anderson. Which I now want to read. Two Thumbs Up from me. I enjoyed it!I can't reveal any spoilers but there were twists in the characters as well as a massive rewrite of the plot. And all I'll say is... role-reversal.

Frankiiee I had no idea what this was about when I started watching, obviously the main idea was based on Mary Shelley's book but I struggled to make the link. It was just...a bit of a mess really. Yes, I think that the idea itself was original and could have been brilliant but all the fade outs made it impossible to follow. I understand why they did it after reading that it was going to be a TV series but there were still way too many. It felt like they were cutting out half way through something important and then when they went back to it, something completely different was going on. There were too many branches coming out of this film that weren't explained, Helios' spine for example. What was that about? Did I imagine seeing it, because it was never mentioned again. And the ending was ridiculous. Okay so it was supposed to be a cliffhanger but it just...stopped. In the middle of a conversation! Overall, I was very underwhelmed and to be honest, this film doesn't deserve to name itself after such an amazing story.

waterfox210 OK So the movie was great. Great storyline And good acting the only thing that totally blows about this movie is there is no second movie i wish that i have never watched it. It was so good that when i found out there's no more i was devastated got my hopes up and they came crashing down so if you love to watch movies with no ending in sight and to be cut off once you are totally into it then watch it . if they do make another one witch they most likely wont I will be the fist to yet you know this movie is so great its a bummer to watch it go no where. so thats all i have to say about it if you hear any thing at all about another one being made please let me know thanks for reading goodnight.

lnicolen I must admit, I bought the movie because I knew it was based off Dean Koontz version of Frankenstein (cant wait for the last book!!). The names are the same and the storyline follows the first book (somewhat)of the series Koontz is putting out. BUT, it ends right in the middle! One of the most horrible endings I have seen on a movie to date. There is so much more to the story. I didn't know why Koontz pulled out until after I saw the movie. No wonder he didn't want his name on it. If they would have followed / completed the story with what Koontz has written I think it could have been one of the best Frankenstein movies ever made. I am really hoping they plan on making a sequel, even though it was made for TV. Left entirely too much hanging. Disappointed I wasted money purchasing this movie.
