About

You can stream Mary Shelley's Frankenstein (1994) on YouTube TV with a subscription.

Victor Frankenstein is a promising young doctor who, devastated by the death of his mother during childbirth, becomes obsessed with bringing the dead back to life. His experiments lead to the creation of a monster, which Frankenstein has put together with the remains of corpses. It's not long before Frankenstein regrets his actions.

This adaptation rejects the cinematic tradition of a hulking brute in favor of a sensitive, soulful creature seeking connection. It prioritizes the tragic, philosophical friction between creator and creation over cheap jump scares.
