Plot

Victor Frankenstein is a promising young doctor who, devastated by the death of his mother during childbirth, becomes obsessed with bringing the dead back to life. His experiments lead to the creation of a monster, which Frankenstein has put together with the remains of corpses. It's not long before Frankenstein regrets his actions.

About Mary Shelley's Frankenstein

Mary Shelley's Frankenstein is a 1994 science fiction Gothic horror film directed by Kenneth Branagh, who also stars as Victor Frankenstein, with Robert De Niro portraying Frankenstein's monster (called the Creation in the film), and co-starring Tom Hulce, Helena Bonham Carter, Ian Holm, John Cleese, Richard Briers and Aidan Quinn. It is considered to be one of the most faithful film adaptations of Mary Shelley's 1818 novel Frankenstein; or, The Modern Prometheus, despite several differences and additions. Like the source material, the story follows Frankenstein, a medical student who produces the Creation, a creature made of human body parts, leading to dark consequences. Mary Shelley's Frankenstein premiered at the London Film Festival on November 3, 1994, and was released theatrically on November 4, 1994, by TriStar Pictures. The film received mixed reviews from critics and grossed $112 million worldwide on a budget of $45 million, making it less successful than the previous Francis Ford Coppola-produced horror adaptation Bram Stoker's Dracula (1992).
