True to the original, here is the story of a young doctor whose obsession with death leads him to create a life. But his creature, crafted from the bodies of convicts and the brain of a brilliant scientist, is a hideous mockery of humanity. And when the creature realizes he will never be accepted by men, he seeks revenge on Dr. Frankenstein and his family. An inspired adaptation thats emotionally complex and truly terrifying. Mary Shelleys Frankenstein is 100% pure excitement. Visually stunning and refreshingly different (Paul Wunder, WBAI Radio).\r
