Sharkenstein is a low-budget creature feature that relies on classic horror clichés. The narrative focuses on the conflict between a biological anomaly and its environment, neglecting complex identity issues. The film pays homage to classic mad science stories. It upholds traditional genre expectations without challenging social hierarchies or multi-layered identities. Ultimately, the production revolves around traditional archetypes. It lacks the narrative structure needed to address modern standards of representation or diverse lived experiences.
