Mary Shelley's Frankenstein Reviews
if you create a monster, be prepared to get him a date!
this is a wild and woolly, completely over the top remake of one (two actually) of the greatest monster movies ever made. deniro is great as the all too human (in this version) monster and the movie is on the whole more entertaining than peter jackson's resent "KING KONG" remake. there are worse ways to spend 6.99 (then on this movie) but make sure you also check out the original movie and its first sequel (bride of frankenstein) if you haven't seen them. they're classics and much better than this wacky, entertaining remake.
Real Horror
Shelley's storyline has not only inspired this monster (the resurrected creature was never actually given a name; it somehow just acquired the same recognizable German last name of its creator) to become a horror film icon and one the most memorable movie monsters of all-time (alongside the Werewolf and Dracula). However, it has also inspired the zombie-esque, bolted-neck beast to become a poster-boy for the Halloween holiday and, surprisingly enough, a children's berry-flavored breakfast cereal.
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 that's emotionally complex and truly terrifying.
