Frankenstein
Directed by J. Searle Dawley
Produced by Edison Studios
An early horror film that uses the Frankenstein myth to explore the terror of unchecked ambition and the violation of natural order, culminating in a tragic intrusion on domestic happiness.
Frankenstein, a young medical student, trying to create the perfect human being, instead creates a misshapen monster. Made ill by what he has done, Frankenstein is comforted by his fiancée; but on his wedding night he is visited by the monster.
