Storyline

Young Victor Frankenstein possesses scientific knowledge and ambitions far beyond his tender years, but his father refuses to subsidise any more of his unorthodox experiments. The solution is simple – Victor arranges for his father to be killed in a shooting ‘accident’ and inherits his fortune. Now able to do as he pleases, Frankenstein embarks on his ultimate goal – the creation of a human being. But the creature he builds turns out to be a rampaging, murderous monster!
