The Monster Burns Down a Cabin | Mary Shelley's Frankenstein (1994) | Now Playing

At least the grandpa was nice and understanding enough to feel sorry for him.

So, I read this book senior year of HS 1992 and this movie came out in 1994, so the book was fresh in my mind and the original films' monster was nothing like the book. This was supposed to be far more realistic to the source. I was really excited for it to come out. I saw it and I remember there were some things I thought were corny AND the monster wasn't portrayed superhuman enough for my knowledge of the book but overall, I liked it ...only later to see reviews that it got pretty hammered. It has its cheese but I still think it deserves much more credit than it got for trying to adapt the book more closely.

I said the same thing. Also, where’s his long black hair?

[@nerdicwarrior]

Is that Richard Briers playing the old blind man?

The movie wasn't bad. The problem was how the monster learned to read, comprehend and think quickly. It should have taken years.

I haven't seen the movie in a while, but if I recall, the monster talks to Victor and shows that he knows how to play music, despite never learning how. I think it's implied that he's not learning, so much remembering things, since he still has the original brain.

I have seen 1/3 of the movie in my school this year, and the guys head come from a smart friend of victor who died, so just like the comment above me. Its probably the brains having memory back.

@@Akrmdz444 Not exactly. The brain memory was from Professor Waldman, the mentor of Frankenstein. He was killed before, and Frankenstein take his brain for the creature.
