Bernard Rose’s Frankenstein Finally Hitting DVD and Blu-ray
While Victor Frankenstein (review) proved to be strictly a middle-of-the-road type affair, Bernard Rose’s take on Frankenstein (review) has been garnering some really high praise. So how good is it? We’ll find out on February 23rd when Alchemy unleashes the beast Stateside.
For our friends across the pond, Signature Entertainment will release the flick on digital platforms in the UK on February 15th and on Blu-ray and DVD February 22nd.
Rose directed from his original script based on the Mary Shelley’s classic novel. Xavier Samuel stars as the Monster, with Carrie-Ann Moss as Elizabeth Frankenstein, Danny Huston as Victor Frankenstein, and Tony Todd as Eddie, reuniting with his Candyman director Rose.
Synopsis:
Frankenstein is set in present day Los Angeles and told entirely from the perspective of the Monster. After he is artificially created, then left for dead by a husband-and-wife team of eccentric scientists, Adam is confronted with nothing but aggression and violence from the world around him. This perfect creation-turned-disfigured monster must come to grips with the horrific nature of humanity.
