With an anxiety that almost amounted to agony, I collected the instruments of life around me, that I might infuse a spark of being into the lifeless thing that lay at my feet. It was already one in the morning; the rain pattered dismally against the panes, and my candle was nearly burnt out, when, by the glimmer of the half-extinguished light, I saw the dull yellow eye of the creature open; it breathed hard, and a convulsive motion agitated its limbs.”SynopsisVictor Frankenstein, a mad scientist consumed with unlocking the mystery of life and creation, pillages graves for the parts necessary to build a new being that he electrifies into terrible existence. However, after being spurned by Frankenstein and deprived human companionship, his flawed creation sets out to destroy his creator and everything he loves.
