A strange old hermit uses witchcraft to give life to the Frankenstein monster. Will the creature be his instrument of revenge, or will it turn on its creator? A homage to the classic Frankenstein story from the inimitable Spence Brothers, shot on location in Comber and the Clandeboye Estate. The subject matter has a long and controversial history in Northern Irish cinema. In 1932, James Whale's Frankenstein was banned by the Police Committee as "blasphemous and unedifying" for its portrayal of a scientist emulating the life-giving abilities of God. 

Twin brothers Roy and Noel Spence have been making films like this for over fifty years; with subjects including crafty leprechauns, creatures from outer space, fifties rock 'n' rollers and the undead.
