Movie Description
After Doctor Frankenstein creates a mate for his "monster," Viktor (Clancy Brown), the doctor (Sting) assembles Eva (Jennifer Beals), who promptly rejects the male creature. Viktor heads out to find happiness elsewhere, eventually teaming up with a wise and helpful little man (David Rappaport) who is on his way to join the circus. Meanwhile, the doctor finds himself attracted to his female creation and sets about teaching her to be a proper Victorian woman. Unfortunately, it's highly likely that he hasn't seen the last of Viktor! Director Franc Roddam (QUADROPHENIA) combines elements from Mary Shelley's classic novel with bits from previous film versions of the tale for a distinctly romantic take on one of the world's best known horror stories.
Synopsis
Rock singer Sting plays Dr. Frankenstein in this postmodern, romantic version of "Bride of Frankenstein." His creation, Eva, is an independent-minded monster who thinks she can have an affair with someone other than her creator.
