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.

"A modern take on Frankenstein that transplants Mary Shelley’s story to present-day New York. Director Larry Fessenden has succeeded in creating a highly compelling reinterpretation that maintains its suspense right up to the bloody finale and resists the temptation to dilute its uncompromising approach with a saccharine ending."
"Not seen it yet but will do So cannot comment on the quality of transfer or audio But loving the slipcover artwork"
"The slipcover is awesome, as always with anything VS or their awesome partner Labels release! It is a cool movie that was a lot of fun to watch! I always love the unique VS service of allowing you to stack as many movies as you like in your cart during any release period and ship them for free! The peerless VS restoration process was on full display with stellar sound and picture! Thank you, VS, for continuing to lovingly restore and release so many wonderful films from every conceivable genre! You are keeping physical media alive in this streaming world we now live in! Highly recommended!"
"A strong release with an impressive 4K presentation and a great overall package. The film has a stylish look and a memorable atmosphere, and the transfer brings out plenty of detail while keeping the original feel intact. A very worthwhile collector’s edition."
"As a fan of Habit but only very casually Fessenden's oeuvre overall this is a bit better than middle-of-the-Fessenden-road Wendigo. That said, it looks very good for the budget in 4K and the packaging and extras leave nothing for desire."
"I can't believe I have never heard of this movie. It has that classic made for TV movie feel to it but it is so good. It's both scary and tragic at the same time."
"A great release of a great flick, here you get to see another amazing vision by Larry Fessenden in amazing picture quality."
"An interesting kind of Frankenstein story with very human monster"
"Another quality Fessenden flick, a good take on the Frankenstein mythology. Nice packaging and extras."
"cool film, great release."
