The trailer and poster have been released for Larry Fessenden‘s upcoming horror film Depraved, which takes a modern spin on the classic Frankenstein story. The film stars David Call, Joshua Leonard, Alex Breaux, Addison Timlin, and Maria Dizzia.
Depraved premiered at this year’s What The Fest!? in NYC and IFC will be releasing the film in theaters September 13th.
The legend of Frankenstein gets a provocative modern update in the stylishly disturbing new film from indie horror master Larry Fessenden. Suffering from PTSD following his stint as an army medic, Henry (David Call) now works feverishly in his Brooklyn laboratory to forget the death he witnessed overseas by creating life in the form of a man cobbled together from body parts. After procuring a brain from an unwitting victim, his creation—Adam (Alex Breaux)—is born. But it soon seems that giving life to Adam was the easy part; teaching him how to live in a dark and troubled world may be perilous. A complex, emotionally shattering tale about what it means to be human, Depraved brings Mary Shelley’s immortal fable fully into the 21st century.
