Overview
The story of estranged siblings returning to their childhood home after their father dies to discover a golem living in the family garage will have audiences agreeing -- not since 'Frankenstein' has a monster movie had such pathos and feeling. Ms. Roventini's thoughtful direction and stand-out performances by Victoria Reid Taylor and the rest of the cast help to prove a no-budget monster movie can have heart too!...
