I, Frankenstein

2014 ·1h 32m · ★ 5.4 (2,042)

200 years after his shocking creation, Dr. Frankenstein's creature, Adam, still walks the earth. But when he finds himself in the middle of a war over the fate of humanity, Adam discovers he holds the key that could destroy humankind.

Why it matters

A gargantuan mash-up of gothic monster myth and urban supernatural action that leans hard into its comic book DNA.

  • Aaron Eckhart’s brooding Adam channels classic monster movie pathos with a modern, antihero swagger.
  • Practical creature makeup meets slick CGI in a neon-lit cityscape—think Bottin’s legacy filtered through digital gloss.
  • A genre blender for fans of body horror’s existential dread and gory action spectacle alike.
  • Clunky script and overstuffed plot can weigh it down, but the cult potential lies in its unapologetic pulp ambition.
