Mary Shelley's Frankenstein
Mary Shelley's Frankenstein
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 of Dr. Frankenstein and his family.

There isn't anything especially stunning here I must confess, its pretty bog standard despite having De Niro against type casting as the monster, by the numbers without anything to really make it a classic.
The visuals are damn good with that cracking gothic feel of course, you get a really good sense of dirty, dusty creaking wooden floorboards set against age old science with lots of odd looking machines created by Frankenstein, rotten body parts and murky dark cemeteries, you can almost taste the sweat and dampness of it all.i liked it - FRISCOSAURAS
DeNiro plays the monster beautifully; you really feel the pain and frustration of Frankenstein's creation. There are a few changes to the plot, but I feel they really helped to improve the story. In my opinion, this is one of the best horror dramas out there.Accurate Screenplay - Beak
What I like about this version is that it is faithful to the original novel by Shelley.
The costumes and sets are very well made and suited to the period.
There are differing opinions on DeNiro's acting,but I think he did a great job. I think people forget that the actors have to work with a director who moulds how the character is portrayed.
The Bluray quality was good, but a bit grainy with only average sharpness.
Definitely worth a spin if you are a fan of the genre.
