Director's Cut and also includes the ITV1 version. Victoria Frankenstein is conducting ground breaking but highly controversial work in the field of stem cell research and medical biotechnology. She is obsessed with her research The Universal Xenograft Project (UX) generating a multi-organ bank to create organs which are fit for human transplant. Her obsession is not driven by a desire for fame or adulation but to save her dying son William. Maddened by grief and desperation Victoria steals a sample of William's blood and introduces it to her research programme. Deep inside her lab in the confines of a purpose built tank the cells grow at an extraordinarily accelerated rate. As they diversify mutate and re-form a horrified Victoria realises that she has lost control of the experiment; the UX is alive - what has she created? Impossible Pictures (Primeval) and Jed Mercurio (Bodies) give Mary Shelley's classic horror story a fresh new twist as literature's most infamous creator Dr Victor Frankenstein is re-born in the 21st Century as a female biologist in this modern re-working of a tragic tale of obsession.

Ciao members have rated this review on average: very helpful Review of Frankenstein (DVD)
Advantages: Good funny bits, excellent acting Disadvantages: Very daft and hubby spoilt all the funny bits by telling me they were going to happen
make sure you keep an eye on his hunch on his right shoulder!
The film was set many years ago in Transylvania and I though that the scenery and settings were very good and made the film more realistic. I thought that the special appearance of Gene Hackman was funny and he played a very daft character so be sure to look out for him.

For the past 200 years, brilliant and disturbed Dr. Victor Helios (Thomas Kretschmann, 'In Enemy Hands', 'The Pianist') has kept himself and his masterpiece monster, Deucalion (Vincent Perez, 'The Crow: City Of Angels') alive through his work in genetics. They have set up shop in New Orleans, where the Doctor has started a genome research institute, where he is going about using his prototype to create a master race, which will eventually take over the Earth from the conventionally produced humans. But Detective O'Connor (Parker Posey, 'Best In Show', 'The House Of Yes') is investigating the spate of gruesome murders that have plagued the city, and the trail leads her to the doctor. Meanwhile, Helios's tormented creations are becoming increasingly erratic in their behaviour. Originally conceived as a pilot for a television series, the script for 'Frankenstein' was directed by Marcus Nispel ('The Texas Chainsaw Massacre') with Martin Scorcese as executive producer. The star-studded cast also includes Adam Goldberg ('A Beautiful Mind', 'Saving Private Ryan'), Michael Madsen ('Kill Bill', 'Reservoir Dogs'), and Ivana Milicevic ('Love Actually', 'Enemy Of The State').
