I, Frankenstein: Kevin Grevioux-Lionsgate

Frankenstein Monster Silhouette by Studio Hades at openclipart
The creator of the Underworld movies has a new action horror movie premiering 01/24/14.  I, Frankenstein promises to be an action take off on a traditional idea that does something imaginatively different with the concept first envisioned by Mary Shelley.

Grevioux's concept holds onto the am I monster or man inner turmoil. But Adam Frankenstein is caught in a dystopia--the world is grime and gargoyles and demons are at war. This take on Shelly's monster and his struggles is definitely original. His genetic aberration caused by his genesis has prolonged his life.

Grevioux wrote the screenplay and the graphic novel. Stuart Beattie later worked on the screenplay and directed. The producers are Tom Rosenberg, Gary Lucchesi, and Sidney Kimmel. Aaron Eckhart plays Adam Frankenstein. Lionsgate is the film's distributor.

Okay, horror and action fans, let's see it and give it a yea or a nay for ourselves.

Tarantula, 1955: Giant Monster Movie: Jack Arnold

Mean Spider by Kelly at Clker.com
Tarantula is a good example of the 1950's giant monster movie sub genre. It's directed by Jack Arnold and written by Robert M. Fresco and Martin Berkeley. The main stars were Mara Corday, Leo G. Carroll, and John Agar.

In Tarantula, an experiment on giantism goes awry in an outlying desert laboratory. The scientist wanted to find a way to end starvation, but a spider gets infected with the formula. The huge arachnid goes on a free-for-all destructive binge. The setting is in Arizona where the local population panics, of course. After some failed tactics, the populace is saved from further attack, when a jet fighter squadron bombards it with napalm.

 This is the tradition of spider movies from which Big Ass Spider emerges. Below is an interview with Jack Arnold discussing the making of the movie.
