On paper, it sounds like it could belong in a cult-favorite horror flick from the 90s: while stuck in detention and abandoned by their teacher, a group of teenagers wander about their eerily quiet high school after hours and get picked off one-by-one by a mysterious masked killer.

Frankenstein's Monster's Monster, Frankenstein Review: David Harbour Lives

I’m genuinely surprised thatFrankenstein’s Monster’s Monster, Frankensteinis debuting on a thing like Netflix, and not randomly during the 4-4:30 AM slot on Adult Swim. Directed byDaniel Gray Longino(Kroll Show,PEN15) and written byJohn Levenstein(Arrested Development), this oddball mockumentary runs a brisk 28 minutes and doesn’t appear to be attached to anything other than the idea that watchingDavid Harbourdo his best blowhardOrson Wellesimpression for a half-hour would be really, really funny.
