Frankenstein
In the early 19th century, Dr. Frankenstein discovers the secret of life – how to create a perfect man – powerful, intelligent and immune to disease. But something goes wrong in the laboratory and the doctor’s hideous creation disappears into the night. At first, Frankenstein hoped that the horrible monster would perish in the wilderness, but now he senses that it’s alive and sets out for him. Dr. Frankenstein tracks the creature to the Arctic, where the two must battle to decide who will become the master of the other’s life…or death.

To me, this movie is perfection.
Simple and well acted, it has tension enough to knot the stomach.
This is a must-see and one of the best documentaries - and films - of this year.
A movie that not only functions as a solid scarefest but a razor-sharp satire.
surprisingly good adaption of Frankenstein is well acted and well made and watchable with only a little amount of blood and gore but it's not really about that this was pretty good with an engaging story. the acting was good Patrick Bergin in my opinion did a little bit better here i am not saying he is a better actor i just think he did a better job here that's all he was a bit more likable and more caring and he seemed more natural. Randy Quaid does okay here but he seemed a bit too goofy and corny for the role still he did pretty decent and was terrifying in the finale but got real corny in the end with all the crying. Lambert Wilson is good looking and does okay but he was average at best and didn't have much to do Fiona Gillies does decent here isn't given much to do though. overall surprisingly good and a bit better then Mary Shelley's Frankenstein (even though Deniro was WAY WAY WAY WAY WAY better as the monster *** out of 5
This Version of Frankenstein is the best!I won't even waste my time criticizing Branagh's Version. Branagh's Version stays with the book until it is time for the monster to kill Victor's wife,then Branagh throws in this ridiculous resurrection of Elizabeth scene which was totally horrible. Branagh ended his movie exactly as the book ended with the monster and his dead master floating away on a sheet of Ice burning up.This Version of Frankenstein was made in 1993 for TNT. It was one of the first original movies made for that network, Gettysburg premiered that same year on that station.This version stays pretty close to the basic plot of the book but it adds a twist. The Death of Elizabeth is exact to how she died in the book, the monster breaks her neck, the rest of the scene was different from the book.The film adds some new twists to the story that make it all the more interesting. William is a teenager in this version not a child and has a somewhat different role.This version remains pretty faithful to the basic plot of the book not the details of the book like Branagh attempts to stick to in his version but pathetically failed at towards the end.John Cameron did a superb job with the music score for this film!I give this film 4 stars. Excellent viewing for a rainy day!
There has been made several versions of Frankenstein, and this TV version works OK.It's not the best of the kind of course, but it's watchable.This is a little different kind of version.In this version Victor Frankenstein and the monster he created are the same.They feel the same pain and they have the same feelings.When one dies, dies the other too.Patrick Bergin plays dr. Victor Frankenstein and Randy Quaid the monster, which is a little surprise.But they both do good acting job.
With the awakening of classic monsters back onto film, such as "Bram Stoker's Dracula" and "The Mummy," it's nice to see a "Frankenstein" film that manages to work nicely.This was a made-for-cable production, and it was a good attempt. A lot more faithful to the novel than other carnations (but it still freely takes its liberties ), this movie presented some new ideas that were interesting to think about. But the major change was the film's biggest disappointment: The monster was no longer a resurrected assembly of corpses, but a being cloned from Dr. Frank himself. Therefore, they can feel each other's pain and emotions. "Two parts of a single man," as the good doctor states. The twist is more like a "Jekyll and Hyde" idea, rather than the usual father and son relationship. It was a fascinating concept, but not really a good idea for a Frankenstein film claiming it is faithful to the book.Other than that, it is a top notch job. David Wickes directs with good timing and the suspense it well brought out. Bergin and Quaid are good in the leads as the doctor and the monster, and John Mills also brings in a powerful performance in a cameo as a blind man. This is worth a comparison to the much better "Mary Shelley's Frankenstein," directed by Kenneth Branagh. Both have similar style and terror.***1/2 out of *****
