What The Monster of Frankenstein is
A thunderstorm over Ingolstadt. Lightning illuminates a jar of gray matter on a cluttered desk. A kindly doctor stitches muscle to bone, then bolts the creature upright. The eight-foot frame lurches into the mist, confused, hopeful, already feared. Kurosawa-style chiaroscuro and the lurid glow of a 1981 TV budget.
