REVIEW OF MOVIE
Mary Shelley's Frankenstein in a 1994 science fiction horror film directed by Kenneth Branagh. The film is adapted from the Mary Shelley1818 novel Frankenstein ; The Modern Prometheus.
STARTING OF MOVIE
In 1794, Captain Walton leads a troubled expedition to reach the North Pole. While their ship is trapped in the ice of the Arctic Sea, the crew hears a frightening noise and witnesses dogs being viciously killed. The crew discovers a man, Victor Frankenstein, traveling across the Arctic on his own. Victor proceeds to tell Walton and the crew his life story, presented as a flashback.
The movie has many horror scenes while Victor Frankenstein was making the creature . The creature looked ugly. And Victor Frankenstein himself was afraid by seeing the ugly look of creature.
When monster killed Elizabeth the bride of Victor Frankenstein and removed the heart was the most terrified scene in the movie.
Maddened with grief, Victor races home to bring Elizabeth back to life. There, he finds Henry, who tells him he should let Elizabeth rest in peace. Victor stitches Elizabeth's head onto Justine's fully intact body, and she awakes as a re-animated creature. The two are briefly and happily reunited until the creature appears, demanding Elizabeth as his bride. Victor and the creature fight for Elizabeth's affections, but Elizabeth, horrified by what she has become, commits suicide by setting herself on fire. Both Victor and the creature escape as the mansion burns down.
The last seen in movie was very frightening. While Victor was making a lady companion for creature.
