Shot on the 200th Anniversary of Mary Shelley’s FRANKENSTEIN, veteran
genre writer-director Larry Fessenden’s brings his unique vision of the
literary classic in DEPRAVED, set in modern Brooklyn. This meditative reimagining of the novel explores the crisis of masculinity and ideas about loneliness, memory and the subtle psychological shocks that shape us as individuals.
Alex (Owen Campbell) leaves his girlfriend Lucy (Chloë Levine) after an
emotional night, walking the streets alone to get home.From out of
nowhere, he is stabbed in a frenzied attack, with the life draining out
of him. He awakes to find he is the brain in a body he does not
recognize. This creature, Adam (Alex Breaux), has been brought into
consciousness by Henry (David Call), a brilliant field surgeon suffering
from PTSD after two tours in the Mideast, and his accomplice Polidori
(Joshua Leonard), a predator determined to cash in on the experiment
that brought Adam to life. Henry is increasingly consumed with remorse
over what he’s done and when Adam finally discovers a video documenting
his own origin, he goes on a rampage that reverberates through the group
and tragedy befalls them all.
