Synopsis

Harking back to the original concept of Frankenstein, this version amplifies the films suspenseful horror and adds greater depth of character and motivation as well as a new and different love story.

All of the eagerly anticipated elements are here: the stone walled laboratory, the crazed scientist, angry villagers, a swooning heroine, a fearful storm and the hideous yet pathetic, deadly creature with its confused mind and powerful, undisciplined body.

The final confrontation between the doctor and the creature produces a startling surprise.
