Frankenstein Unbound1990

Horror Vault's take

A futuristic scientist whose catastrophic weapon tears holes in time finds himself hurled back to 19th-century Switzerland, where the boundary between fiction and reality dissolves alarmingly. There he comes face to face with both Victor Frankenstein and the creature of legend — as well as the young woman who will one day immortalise them in print. Roger Corman's ambitious adaptation blends time-travel science fiction with the Gothic horror of Mary Shelley's classic, asking whether the sins of Frankenstein echo across centuries. The result is a collision of eras that forces its modern protagonist to confront uncomfortable parallels between his own hubris and that of the infamous doctor.
