“…it's fascinating to watch this frenetic concoction unwind.”—Chicago Reader
A weekend at the house of famous poet Lord Byron spawned the creation of two horror classics: Mary Shelley’s Frankenstein and Polidori’s The Vampyre. And who better to commit this story to film than the ever-twisted Ken Russell, who spins a lurid and literary fantasia out of the events of the historical night. The juicy performances of Russell’s ready-for-anything cast and the discordant oddness of 80s pop star Thomas Dolby’s soundtrack add to the madness.
