Frankenstein is the petrifying account of a brute which was given life and fabricated by Victor Frankenstein and…

All of these connotations are associated with darkness, immorality, something that can be reflected in several residents…
Like the saying goes, "Nobody should judge a book by its cover." A person can't determine what type of person somebody is based on their physical appearance.

In all honesty, the movie has terrible quality, but I thought it was interesting that they used various colored frames to add texture. The film…
