So, Yeah, Kiddies…
…The Title Of This Piece Really Says It All.
Today, I’m Going To Talk About A Flick…
…That’s A Personal Favorite.
By A Show Of Hands…
…How Many Of Y’all Have Seen..
MARY SHELLEY‘s
“FRANKENSTEIN“
(1994)
…Featuring…
KENNETH BRANAGH
(As "VICTOR FRANKENSTEIN" AND As The Director/Producer Of The Flick)
&
ROBERT De NIRO
(As "THE FRANKENSTEIN MONSTER" aka "THE CREATURE")
??? ??? ???
Okay…
…Well…
…Not Many Of Y’all…
…But More Of Y’all Than I Expected.
So I’ll Take That As A Good Thing.
😉
KENNETH BRANAGH
…Does A Truly Wonderful Directing Job On This One.
The Story Is Much Truer To The Original “FRANKENSTEIN” Works…
…And This Version Is NOT For The Squeamish.
BRANAGH Totally Goes For Our Jugular In His Adaptation Of The Classic Story.
Blood.
Guts.
Sweat.
Tears.
More Blood And Guts.
Etc.
Etc.
KENNETH BRANAGH
…Likes To Keep This One Rolling…
…Hardly Giving The Audience A Chance To Breathe Before Something Else Crazy Happens That Leaves Us All Aghast!
But The Crown Jewel Of This Film…
…IS…
ROBERT De NIRO
…As…
“THE CREATURE“
.Period.
He’s Hideous.
He’s Mean.
He’s Tough.
And He’s Lonely.
Trust Me, My Peeps…
…It’s A Lethal Combination.
Eventually…
“THE CREATURE“
…Realizes He Will NEVER Be Accepted Into The Community, Or By The Human Race As A Whole.
That He Will Forever Be Looked Upon As The Horrid Creation He Is.
And Then…
…Of Course…
…He Sets Out On A Quest Of REVENGE Against…
“DR. FRANKENSTEIN“
…Along With His Family…
…Friends…
…Whatever…
…And By Golly Jiminy Gee…
“THE CREATURE“
…Takes Them Out.
All Of Them.
He Doesn’t Discriminate.
Man.
Woman.
Doesn’t Matter.
For…
“THE CREATURE“
…In His Mind…
…He Is Extracting Proper JUSTICE…
…Against The Mad Doctor.
"WHAT'S GONNA HAPPEN?!"
…You Quickly Ask.
Well…
…I Ain’t Gonna Tell Ya.
There Shall Be NO Spilling Of The Proverbial Beans By Me.
You Just Have To Watch.
😉
I’m Now The Proud Owner Of This Flick In An AMAZING Blu-ray Format.
The Picture Quality Is WONDERFUL.
The Sounds Are So Very REAL.
The Transfer Into The Blu-ray Format Is Simply BREATHTAKING.
I’ve Loved This Flick For A Very VERY Long Time…

…And I’m Very Proud To Have It In My Collection.

It’s Dark.
It’s Bloody.
It’s Dirty.
It’s Damned Near Insane.
BUT BUT BUT…
…It’s A Total Keeper Keeper, Fo SHO, My Peeps!

I’m Not Saying All Of You Will Like This.
What I’m Saying Is…
…I REALLY LIKE IT…
…And Perhaps After Reading This, Some Of Y’all Will Wanna See It…
…Or See It Again.
I Consider This One A True-Blue FORGOTTEN CLASSIC.
And I’m Very Proud To Be Blogging About It With Y’all, Today.
MARY SHELLEY‘s
