Mary Shelleys Frankenstein Limited Edition (With Booklet) 4K Ultra HD

Be warned... It lives!

Kenneth Branagh leads an all-star cast including Robert De Niro, Helena Bonham Carter, Tom Hulce, Ian Holm, John Cleese, and Aidan Quinn in his definitive cinematic version of Mary Shelley's classic tale of Gothic terror.

In the early 1800s, visionary scientist Victor Frankenstein (Kenneth Branagh) embarks on a compelling quest to conquer the mysteries of human mortality. But his hubristic attempt to create life from death goes horribly wrong, resulting in the birth of a deformed monster (Robert De Niro).

Astonished by what he has created, the scientist tries to destroy his creation, but fails. The angry creature takes revenge on Frankenstein and his family, rejected by its creator and shunned by the human world. When the monster begins to exact his murderous revenge, Victor must face a terrible reckoning for the tragic consequences of trying to play God.

Mary Shelley's groundbreaking novel is one of the most adapted books of all time, and this retelling faithfully returns to the original source, transforming the story's twin themes of love and death into a dark, operatic Gothic romance.

Unlike many versions of Shelley's novel, Branagh's adaptation understands that Frankenstein's monstrous creation is as pitiful as he is monstrous, and never loses sight of the human tragedy at the heart of its horrific tale. Filled with sweeping, atmospheric images and powerfully emotional performances from an award-winning ensemble of talented actors, Mary Shelley's Frankenstein stands as a landmark interpretation of this enduring masterpiece.
