PUBLISHED JUL 5, 2019

We can vouch that we haven't seen a more vague, bizarre preview into a movie in the recent past than that of 'Frankenstein's Monster's Monster, Frankenstein' which was released two days ago. Starring David Harbour of 'Stranger Things' fame, 'Frankenstein's Monster's Monster, Frankenstein' is a mockumentary that casts him as a fictional version of himself and his father.

Release date

'Frankenstein's Monster's Monster, Frankenstein' is set to come to Netflix on July 16, 2019. 

Plot

According to the official synopsis, "Harbour delves into the enigmatic history of his legendary acting family, as he examines his father's legacy and role in a made-for-TV play. When Harbour finds lost footage of his father's disastrous televised stage play of a literary classic, he uncovers shocking family secrets."

Harbour is best known for his role has Jim Hopper in Netflix's very own sci-fi horror series 'Stranger Things', which returned for its third season on July 4, 2019.

Creator

'Frankenstein's Monster's Monster, Frankenstein' is penned by writer John Levenstein (of 'Arrested Development', and 'Kroll Show' fame) and directed by Daniel Gray Longino ('PEN15', 'Who Is America?'). Levenstein had taken to Twitter in June to announce the project coming to Netflix:



 

Trailers

The trailer for 'Frankenstein’s Monster’s Monster, Frankenstein' is pretty bizarre, to begin with but interesting nonetheless. It shows Harbour essaying the role of both himself and his father in a suspenseful and seemingly serious documentary-style interview to explore the depths of the family's acting lineage including rivalries to mob ties and more. 

Where to watch

'Frankenstein’s Monster’s Monster, Frankenstein' is coming to Netflix on July 16, 2019.
