aka Edison's Frankenstein.A bit of history now, the first ever horror film. A curio in many ways with the story inevitably being changed to fit the fifteen minute running time. One of those changes concerns the creation of the monster. The creation scene, which takes much of the films duration, owes more to alchemy than science. And instead of the monster exacting revenge on Frankenstein, it seems to be more a reflection of Frankenstein's mind, disappearing with his reflection being replaced by Frankenstein's.
