Trivia:
The amniotic fluid in which the Creature was brought to life was really boiling jello. During filming, De Niro and Branagh slipped and fell in the stuff so much that a huge split appeared in De Niro's monster suit, which had to be avoided by the cameras. more

I nearly spit out my teeth when I saw how low Frankenstein (94) score was. This film is quite simply spectacular! It goes in the same category as From Hell, they are both too sophisticated and beautiful to be JUST horror films. The cleverness of this film and its sheer radiance must throw some people off. Robert De Niro is the creature! De Niro gives the foul beast a soul of his own. De Niro's performance brings out genuine pity, sorrow, and most importantly, fear. Kenneth Branagh has always added a bit of class to his films, and his version of Frankenstein is no different. A visually brilliant triumph as a director.
