Depraved Tackles the Frankenstein Myth at this Year's WTF!? Film Festival

Larry Fessenden (Wendigo) is already moving onto his next project, after his work on Jenn Wexler's The Ranger (2018). His latest film is an adaptation of Mary Shelley's Frankenstein, which was originally completed over 200 years ago. Depraved will have its World Premiere at the What the Fest!? Film Festival, in New York City. The film stars: Owen Campbell (Super Dark Times), Chloe Levine (The Ranger), Alex Breaux (Bushwick) and Joshua Leonard. Wexler and Joe Swanberg (V/H/S) are also producers on this film. Now, a teaser trailer is available for Depraved here, via Fessenden's Glass Eye Pix production house.

Most should be familiar with the Frankenstein or the Prometheus myth by now. This time, Alex is walking alone after a fight with his girlfriend. He is stabbed in a random attack. When he awakes, he has become something or someone else. His body parts are stitched together, by a PTSD suffering soldier. Now, Alex must put his life back together as he tries to adjust to his new body.

Director Fessenden has participated in the creation of dozens and dozens of films. His latest is firmly set in the horror genre and looks to reinvent an old film staple. With a fresh coat of red paint, Depraved is set to terrify audiences this March 20th, in the Big Apple. Fessenden's latest covers topics such as masculinity, loneliness, memory and trauma. Finally, you can find the first teaser on Depraved below.
