Frankenstein and Me is a 1996 independent family horror film directed by Robert Tinnell. Loosely inspired by the enduring legacy of Frankenstein's monster in literature and cinema, the film blends elements of fantasy, coming-of-age drama, and horror homage. It is notable for marking the first feature-length film appearance of actor Ryan Gosling. [1] [2] [3] The film was released in Germany as Frankenstein & Ich. [4]

Reception

Bryan Senn writing for The Werewold Filmography in 2017 wrote, "Clever, touching and entertaining, Frankenstein and Me is tailor-made for every monster-lover whose heart has remained true to his or her childhood dreams" and concluded that it "is not only a poignant trip down Memory Lane, but a validation of secret childhood wonder–feelings that monsters do exist and, if one believes strongly enough, anything is possible". [5]
