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
I'm going to be honest, this is the not the movie I thought I had selected. I confess I wanted to watch the big blockbuster Aaron Eckhart I Frankenstein (2014)and it was only about 20 minutes in of the eccentric scientists treating their 'monster' like a baby I decided to check what I had selected. There is no gentle way around it, Frankenstein is violent! It's quiet almost tranquil moments are shattered by outburst of mutilation and gruesome beatings. The narrative creates a disturbance within your opinions of the monster; you sympathise with him being in a new world alone and scared without the mental capacity to comprehend his existence, but then you fear him and despise the pain he inflicts on others (even when they deserve it). The writers playing on the age old theory that the scariest monsters are those that closely resemble humans. The acting is beyond good, the story an interesting take on the Mary Shelley classic but there was something that didn't sit right with me watching this film. Maybe it was because I was expecting an over-budget under-story movie with Frankenstein Vs Gargoyles, or the psychological battle the lead character creates for the viewer. Either way if you can stomach the violence then worth a watch, but would not be the top of my list.
