Frankenstein (stylised as FRANKƐN5TƐ1N) is a 2015 updated adaptation of Mary Shelley's Frankenstein, directed by Bernard Rose.
The film is told from the monster's point of view as he is created, escapes into the modern world and learns about the dark side of humanity.
Viktor Frankenstein (Danny Huston) and his wife, Marie (Carrie-Anne Moss), are scientists who bring to life Adam: a fully-grown, handsome, young man (Xavier Samuel) with the mind of an infant. Adam's cells fail to replicate correctly and he soon develops deformities on his face and body. Dr. Frankenstein attempts to euthanize his creation, but he is difficult to kill and abnormally strong.
Adam escapes into a nearby wilderness and lives by scavenging in the forest. He adopts a friendly stray dog, with whom he travels to the city. In a park he meets a little girl (Mckenna Grace) and they play a game of throwing sticks into a lake. Adam, still thinking it's a game, picks up the girl and throws her into the water as well. She starts to drown, so he jumps in and saves her. When he brings her to shore, however, two police men try to arrest him and shoot his barking dog. Adam assaults one officer and kills the other. A vigilante mob chases Adam down.
Adam is taken to a police station where he is put into a straitjacket. Almost completely non-verbal, he gives them Marie's ID badge. Marie is brought to the station and denies knowing Adam, effectively abandoning him.
Two vengeful policemen Officer Banks (Jeff Hilliard) drive Adam to an empty lot and shoot him in the head. He awakes hours later and wanders until he meets a blind, homeless man named Eddie (Tony Todd). Recognizing a childlike soul, he kindly takes Adam under his wing. Adam's deformities worsen, but he continues to learn about the world and his ability to speak improves.
