Part homage and part parody of Universal Pictures 1930s monster
movies, Mel Brooks gives the old
horror classic a riotous comic twist! Grandson of the infamous Victor
Frankenstein, Frederick (Gene Wilder)
inherits his family's estate in Transylvania. With the help of a hunchbacked
sidekick, Igor, and a leggy lab assistant, Inga, Frederick finds himself in the
mad scientist shoes of his ancestor. "It's alive!" he exclaims as he
brings to life a creature to rival his grandfather's. Eventually, of course,
the monster escapes and hilarity abounds. (US,
1974, 105min., English, PG | Dir. Mel Brooks)
