# Mary Shelley's Frankenstein (1994)

1994 · 123 min · Drama, Horror, Science Fiction, Romance · United States, Japan

Original title: Frankenstein

## Synopsis

Mary Shelley's Frankenstein is a 1994 science fiction Gothic horror film directed by Kenneth Branagh, who also stars as Victor Frankenstein, with Robert De Niro portraying Frankenstein's monster, and co-starring Tom Hulce, Helena Bonham Carter, Ian Holm, John Cleese, Richard Briers and Aidan Quinn. It is considered to be one of the most faithful film adaptations of Mary Shelley's 1818 novel Frankenstein; or, The Modern Prometheus, despite several differences and additions.
