Very dull and the actors DO NOT match the characters they are playing. Who did their auditions? Another one of those that could have been really good but here we go again with total rubbish!!!!! If you want to see a good movie about Mary Shelley check out "Gothic"!! It is an older movie 1986 but you will love it.

Went in blind on this movie, wondering how they could make the writing process of Frankenstein entertaining; they did not. The movie was a colorless, nonsensical borefest. Overacting and pretentious dialoge make the already horrible characters impossible to take seriously. If you make it through this trainwreck, you will be rewarded with an ending so stupid you'll have no choice but to break out in a big, long laugh. This alone is worth one extra star in this review.

This is another retelling of the tale on Mary Shelly writing her novel Frankenstein. It engages her real life but not any sort of interesting or horrific way that made the film worth viewing. "Mary Shelly" or "Gothic" were more entertaining. Might find a niche audience.

I sat down to watch the 2020 movie "A Nightmare Wakes" as it was supposedly a movie based on Mary Shelley and the creation of the iconic "Frankenstein" story. Little did I know that I was in for a snoozefest of grand proportions from writer and director Nora Unkel. The storyline told in "A Nightmare Wakes" was just horribly slow paced and rather uninteresting, to be bluntly honest. And it was a massive struggle for me to sit through this ordeal of a movie. But I endured, hoping the movie would eventually pick up its pacing and become interesting. But alas, it just never did, much to my disappointment. This 2020 movie is listed as a drama and thriller. Yeah, you might have to look hard and long for the thriller aspect to the movie. It was a prolonged drama heavy on storytelling that proved essentially pointless. I found "A Nightmare Wakes" to be a disappointing movie experience, and it was a movie that I had actually looked forward to sitting down to watch. And trust me when I say that I will never pick up this movie and view it again. The storyline was a struggle to get through the first time around, so why inflict additional self-torment by attempting a second viewing. How true "A Nightmare Wakes" is to the actual life of Mary Shelley, I can only guess about, as I have no clue. The acting performances in the movie were adequate, but it just was a shame that the actors and actresses had so very little of any proper contents to work with in terms of script, plot and storyline. Don't waste your time, money or effort on this 2020 movie from writer and director Nora Unkel, because it is simply not really worth it. My rating of "A Nightmare Wakes" lands on a mere three out of ten stars. The movie does have some interesting enough details to it in terms of props, costumes and settings.

Dissolved into transcendence. If nothing else, this film found a perspective on Frankenstein somewhat less fantastical, less other-worldly than that in which it is normally viewed...not the hubris of a man into a god, but rather the stillbirth of the yearning for connection between all that is mundane and common, no matter the costume or setting. If all you can see here is skin color and ethnicity, then you have birthed your own horror, failed in your own journey towards humanity. As such, whatever its failings, this film works on many levels...

WTF. Depressing and dull. It's definitely not horror.

Bigdulax FanNov 22, 2022

I don't know what the director achieved by giving us this garbage. Saw it on Shudder and it was a cold winter afternoon, I almost feel asleep through this which is very difficult if you're watching a supposed horror movie. The main guys are particularly bad actor and really average lookers not worthy of becoming actors , the female lead is atleast better looking to help you pass this nonsense. Overall nothing interesting or worth, expected better from Shudder sorry

There was genuinely nothing about this that necessitated it being about historical figures. They took a few elements of Shelley's life, pasted names on some actors, and trotted them lifelessly around bland sets with a desaturated filter and some whispery dialogue, and you could have told the same story about a woman writing a book in any era for the exact same lackluster effect. Don't waste your time, especially if you're actually looking for horror.

One to dodge people. Showed promise with the initial premise - poorly executed. The scenery is bland, repetitive and brings you down. The actors are mostly poor but at least the lead lady is trying to do something. It's a B level horror/drama that is lower than you would expect from any TV series/film production. We all love the horror story, Frankenstein, but this is one horror of a story that you'll soon wish to forget. Nothing happens! Avoid, unless you are struggling to sleep.
