Storyline
Did you know
- TriviaClosed captioning on the film gives away the climactic discovery of the monster's, that he has a name.
- GoofsAt the end, Elizabeth is dead. But when Adam carries her, her arm is completely wrapped around his neck as he carries her to the fire. A dead person's arm could not maintain such a position, even if placed there by the carrier; only a live person, using muscles, would be able to keep the arm up like that. Without muscles, it would just hang down behind him. Also, as he carries her, his left arm is supporting her torso and her head is upright. Again, a head maintaining such a position would be impossible for a dead person. A dead person would have no muscles to keep a head up. Instead, it would droop backwards in the direction of gravity. Finally, as he places her down on the burning logs, her head slowly descends, whereas it should fall down, since, again, there are no working muscles to control its descent. All of this is also true if she were merely unconscious.

Featured review
This is a very interesting take on the Frankenstein tale. We get to see the Monster basically take his first breath and become born into this world. He slowly becomes accustomed to being alive when suddenly he's betrayed by his creator and thus sets about on a rampage. This film illustrates it fairly well and I feel like the character of Adam/Monster is fairly sympathetic. He lacks a vocabulary like in the novel and in the 1994 adaptation, but it's far more realistic for the vocalization capacity of a newly formed creature. Bernard Rose does a fairly good job directing and the pastoral dream sequences are nice in particular. It has a nice pace and good use of practical special effects. The Monster's transformation was thoroughly engaging and I feel if anyone is a fan of the horror genre that they should at least do themselves a favor and see this interpretation.
