A fascinating take on horror that focused not on the actual monster, but rather the horror that derived from political instability & violence & how they interacted with human selfishness. The monster, called Whatsitsname, represented how one may spiral into the chaos of uncertainties with astute philosophical takes on what makes & drives a person to either be heroic or villanous; traversing the fine line between those two based on one's social identity & situations. 

Told through the views of different characters with varying privileges, you'd see how violence, lack of security, & displacement affect people: some tried to profit off the chaos; others believing that they held the key for betterment; there were those whose grief & trauma were too heavy that their mind sought an alternate reality. 

Gripping in its commentary, Frankenstein in Baghdad portrayed how fraught humanity can be especially in a place that lack safety.
