Henry Frankenstein pieces together body parts in the hope of bringing a human-like creature to life. The mad scientist’s dreams are shattered by his monstrous creation awakening with rage to a world that hates and fears him.
A slow, deliberate descent into the fear of what we make. Whale's laboratory hums with electric dread while the terror lives in stillness — a lumbering shape, a hesitant hand, eyes that ask a question no one will answer. The unease is melancholic, patient, and lodges deep long after the storm passes.
