About this movie

Set in present day Los Angeles, Frankenstein is told entirely from the perspective of the Monster. After he is artificially created, then left for dead by a husband-and-wife team of eccentric scientists, Adam is confronted with nothing but aggression and violence from the world around him. This perfect creation-turned disfigured monster must come to grips with the horrific nature of humanity.

Ratings and reviews

Bernard Rose's contemporary version of "Frankenstein" is beautiful, bloody and at times hilarious. I was taken aback by how strongly I felt about how ambitious and personal it was... and yet it still managed to be a purer adaptation than any other Frankenstein film I've seen. It's miraculous.
