Stephen King's REVIVAL a Nightmare Redux of Frankenstein

Stephen King, the former emperor of the horror genre, has lost his luster.  Once the reigning contemporary writer of fear & fantasy, his writing skills have been eluding him since his terrible accident in 1999.  King was critically struck by a van while walking near his home.  His road to recovery has been painful & arduous.  In 2002, King announced his retirement from writing due to immense pain & reduced stamina.  King has received numerous honors for his literary works.  Many have been made into successful films:  The Shawkshank Redemption & Stand by Me {The Body.} However, King himself has admitted that "the force of my invention has slowed down."  King's dedication list to literary influences in Revival starts with Mary Shelly.  Shelly whose literary masterpiece Frankenstein is mangled terribly in this rip-off of her theological contemplation of creation & humanity.  King's mad scientist (Rev. Charles) tampers with creating life with the purpose of discovering what lies beyond death's door.  Charles is a satirical, snake oil evangelist who preys on human weaknesses.  His fascination with the omnipotent powers of electricity creates a feeble, formulaic story without suspense with an absurd payoff.  I admire & agree with King's religious heresy which gives meaningful relevance to Revival.  "Religion is the theological equivalent of a quick-buck insurance scam."  "Millions have been burned shot, hung, electrocuted & torn to pieces…all in God's name."  I revile REVIVAL's cheesy, plagiarized plot mired in an ephemeral web of family melodrama.
