Description
In Mary Shelley’s famous story, scientist Victor Frankenstein wants to discover “the secret of life”. After years of research, he builds a “human” creature out of several body parts. One dark, stormy night, he brings his creation to life and the monster is born. But, alone and friendless, the monster is persecuted and rejected. Finally, he takes desperate measures to survive and chaos follows. The consequences are both unexpected and tragic. This classic horror story explores man’s struggle for love and understanding, as a scientist’s dream becomes a nightmare of murder and revenge.
