Film Synopsis
Tales of Frankenstein (1958) follows a reclusive scientist whose forbidden experiments result in the creation of an artificial being that quickly turns deadly. As fear and suspicion spread through the surrounding community, the pursuit of knowledge collapses into moral reckoning and violent consequence. This horror-science-fiction hybrid blends Gothic restraint and tragic inevitability in a compact study of hubris and creation gone awry.
