Robert De Niro, Kenneth Branagh, Tom Hulce, Ian Holm and John Cleese star in Branagh's acclaimed adaptation of 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 on Dr. Frankenstein and his family. An inspired adaptation that's emotionally complex and truly terrifying, Mary Shelley's Frankenstein is "100% pure excitement. Visually stunning and refreshingly different" (Paul Wunder, WBAI Radio)
