Though he is far too early in his career to make any definitive statements Frankensteins Bloody Nightmare – FBM from here on in - contains ample evidence that first time producer-director John R. Hand might just be America’s answer to Shinya Tsukamoto. Layered with a surreal theatricality, raw experimentation, a fixation on the intersection of humanity and technology, disturbing sexual overtones, a firm genre sensibility and a driving soundtrack FBM contains many points of intersection with the Japanese master’s work while also drawing in enough other elements – a very 70’s experimental film aesthetic and some seeming nods to giallo among them – to ensure that Hand’s voice is good and truly his own.
