Synopsis: Thriller / 7m, 6f / Harking back to the original concept of Frankenstein, this version amplifies the film's suspenseful horror and adds greater depth of character and motivation as well as a new and different love story. All of the eagerly anticipated elements are here: the stone walled laboratory, the crazed scientist, angry villagers, a swooning heroine, a fearful storm and the hideous yet pathetic, deadly creature with its confused mind and powerful, undisciplined body. The final confrontation between the doctor and the creature produces a startling surprise. "A genuine thriller.... Memorable entertainment." Gainville News. "Will give you a full measure of thrills and laughs ... [with] ever increasing suspense." Glens Falls Post Star. "Pure gold.... You'll have to go a long way to find a better play." Greenwich Journal.
