Frankenstein Is Reimagined for the Modern Age in the Trailer for “The Angry Black Girl and Her Monster”

The Angry Black Girl and Her Monster, a contemporary rendition of Mary Shelley’s classic novel Frankenstein, treats death as a disease that has to be cured.

The reworking is introduced in a brand-new trailer that emphasizes the word “crazy” and offers a fresh take on the archetype of the mad scientist.

The Angry Black Girl and Her Monster will be available on June 9, 2023, in theaters, on VOD, and digitally thanks to RLJE Films.

In the film,

“Vicaria is a brilliant teenager who believes death is a disease that can be cured. After the brutal and sudden murder of her brother, she embarks on a dangerous journey to bring him back to life. Inspired by Mary Shelley’s Frankenstein, The Angry Black Girl and Her Monster thematically challenges our ideas of life and death. Bomani J. Story, the film’s writer and director, crafts a thrilling tale about a family that, despite the terrors of systemic pressure, will survive and be reborn again.”

The Angry Black Girl and Her Beast was written and directed by Bomani J. Story.

Starring are Laya DeLeon Hayes from “The Equalizer,” Denzel Whitaker from “Black Panther,” Chad L. Coleman from “The Walking Dead,” Reilly Brooke Stith from “The Walking Dead,” and Keith Holliday. Together with Jack Davis and Darren Brandl, Story produces.

According to Mark Ward of RLJE, “Angry is a unique story from the amazing mind of Bomani J. Story and Crypt TV – wonderfully brought to life on screen by Laya DeLeon Hayes.”
