Sarah F. (Ferdy63) from DALTON, GA
Reviewed on 3/29/2008...
Mary and Percy Shelley go to visit Byron on a dark and rainy night. During a night of drinking, drugs and debauchery, the idea for Mary Shelley's Frankenstein are born. It includes some major British stars and is definitely interesting.

This is a DVD review, not a review of the movie itself!

"This DVD version (Pro-Active Entertainment) is complete garbage. The video transfer is so horrible it looks like it was taken right off a VHS tape. Also, the audio is not in Dolby Surround, but MPEG-2 (which simply means its in two speaker stereo). Avoid this version at all costs. If you want to purchase this movie, buy the version from Lionsgate/Fox which has a superior audio and video transfer. You won't be disappointed!"

"HORROR & SUSPENSE-REGION FREE-Conjure up your deepest, darkest fear-Now call that fear to life! This is the story of the night Mary Shelly gave birth to the horror classic Frankenstein. Disturbed drug induced games are played and ghost stories are told one rainy night at the mad Lord Byron's country estate. Personal horrors are revealed and the madness of the evening runs from sexual fantasy to fiercest nightmare. Mary finds herself drawn into the sick world of her lover Shelly and Cousin Clare, as Byron leads them all down the dark paths of their souls!
