Summary
Victor Frankenstein, a brilliant young scientist, returns to his Swiss chateau to escape a terrible pursuer.

The creature tracks Victor to his sanctuary to demand a bride to share its loneliness. Against his better judgement, Victor agrees and soon the household is invaded by murder, despair and terror!
