Terror of Frankenstein

Plot Summary

This is the most faithful film adaptation of Mary Shelley's gothic tale. Young medical-school graduate Victor Frankenstein is obsessed with clandestine experiments in the rejuvenation of dead tissue. He creates a living man, assembled from parts of corpses and revived by an electrical charge of lightning. As with Shelley's novel, the film holds sympathy for the melancholy monster, whose deathly appearance, aching loneliness, and murderous quest for revenge make him the bane of Frankenstein's existence.
