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…

The film starts with Frankenstein leaving for college, then two years later he discovers the mystery of life. 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…
