This movie contains several references to previous Frankenstein movies: The Creature is brought to life in a metallic vat, as in Frankenstein (1910). Victor cuts an executed criminal from a hangman's noose, and uses the body for his experiments, as in Frankenstein (1931) and Young Frankenstein (1974). The Creature is reanimated with electrical charges. This is an invention of Hollywood. Mary Wollstonecraft Shelley does not specify in the novel how Victor creates or animates the Creature. Once the Creature comes to life, Victor triumphantly shouts, "It's alive!" The Creature's first spoken word is "friend". This is also the Creature's most frequently-used word, when he learns to speak in The Bride of Frankenstein (1935). Victor uses the brain of a brilliant scientist and mentor for his Creature, as in The Curse of Frankenstein (1957). Justine Moritz's role is also expanded, and is made to fall in love with Victor in both movies. Victor's mentor, who paved the road for his experiments, brings a severed arm back to life, and shows it to Victor, as in Frankenstein: The True Story (1973). The Creature hides in some cottagers' pigsty, and secretly learns to speak and read from observing them through a peephole. In the book, the cottagers are foreign refugees. In this movie, the cottagers are simply local townsfolk. This variation on the novel was first used in Terror of Frankenstein (1977). Victor revives a mangled and hideous Elizabeth after the Creature murders her, and Victor and the Creature then engage in a battle for her affection. Horrified, the reanimated Elizabeth takes her own life. The same events take place, almost exactly, in Frankenstein Unbound (1990). A cholera epidemic sweeps through Ingolstadt, leaving Victor to believe that the Creature died from disease. Frankenstein (1992) also featured a cholera epidemic under very similar circumstances, even though it is not present in the novel.

Can't be a Frankenstein film without those two words.

Frankenstein really is smart. He knows static electricity will disrupt his experiment, so he chose not to wear a shirt.

[toontastickidz]

Fun fact, In the original book that line was never there, if I remember correctly he loses interest in bringing life and just goes to his room to take a nap when he first observes his creation. Obviously the daemon interrupts his sleep and he just runs away

When you drop your phone and the screen isn’t cracked: 2:03

[magallanesagustin]

I can't believe Movieclips just downloaded scenes from this movie. I love it.

[O-DogKubrick]

0:49 That thing, is like one big egg sac or a nut sac with all those electric eels inside.

[ThomasandPikachu]

When we were talking about Frankenstein in school, my class was shown that!

[CatManDoom]

Using electric eels! Wow so clever, ive still never seen this movie surprisingly

[luiiz_ricardo_]

The best and more faithful version of Frankenstein!

[aparnarajesh]

Branagh has made the best Frankenstein adaption

[tooleyheadbang]

"... Now I know what it feels like to BE God..."

[Quetzalcoatl_]

Underrated movie, Kenneth Branagh, Deniro and this score... Magnificent

[juliovictormanuelschaeffer]

Man, I miss this type of science fiction, with levers and pipes and actual props. It felt more real and inspiring in my opinion.

Nowadays sci-fi it's either drab, gray dystopias that'll make the Soviet apartment blocks look like kindergartens, or sterile bubbles with holograms everywhere.

[Revcharge]

i was around 10 when i first saw this film. that hand moving was the scariest part in the entire film for me.

[patrickdumas]

I don't know how, but i like it better in the trailer when he says "it's alive!"
It's a little more creepier.
Don't ask me why.

[kseniaixbalam]

…every time I watch this movie I can’t believe this is the same actor who performed Gilderoy Lockhart in HP.
In this film I *do* swoon at him like the girls in HP did 😂 cause Branagh is brilliant… and so freaking hot 🔥🔥🔥

[bryannugent]

Still this scene could have been done better. Had he collapsed to his knees when he thought the experiment failed. Then as the creature taps on the glass a realization from sorrow slowly to joy as he first says it alive in almost a wisper then pride comes over his face as he axcaims in triumph its alive

[righteousgreek]

Well robot chickens opening gave me high expectations on this reference, I’m a little underwhelmed

[yawgeorge]

Waaau nice one am Pinpinis tv from Ghana i like this
