Overview

Surprisingly good adaptation of the Isherwood screenplay, though not sticking exactly with the original novel, this is an incredible spectacle, with good special effects. Not done in the classic manner, this has been dubbed more of an intellectual's horror movie. The creature is by no means the patchwork quilt beastie we are used to seeing when thinking of Frankenstein. Instead, he is a very handsome Victorian-era man whose physical decomposition brings about an agony of spirit as well as physical adjustments. Michael Sarrazin's monster is brilliant and sympathetic.
