Very loosely based on Mary Shelley's book; mostly a parody of the many "serious" movies made of the book.

Brooks masterpiece is really a parody of "Son of Frankenstein," a nearly perfect over-the-top send up of horror flicks, and has some genuinely scary bits too. Gene Wilder is in his element, and Boyle is perfect as the monster. ( )

Mel Brooks best. A loving tribute to the classic horror movies, but also a very funny movie in it's own right. Kahn's Elizabeth is absolutely hilarious, but every actor here does a wonderful job. ( )
