Though not entirely bad , this film proved a critical and commercial flop which damaged the careers of most of those involved. It's a very loose remake of The Bride of Frankenstein with faux-feminist overtones plus a hefty slice of Of Mice And Men thrown in as a sub-plot. The fatal flaws are the casting and the sequencing with the sub-plot involving Clancy Brown and David Rapaport so much more absorbing than the main story of Frankenstein and his creation that the scenes involving the latter seem like distracting ad breaks. The terrible acting of Sting and his co-star certainly doesn't help.
Jennifer Beals ( as Eva )
Sex : Eva is twice interrupted while about to have sex. Beals used a body double for a scene where Eva walks through the castle naked.
Death : Survives

This was Jennifer's second film role following the success of Flashdance and she was still a student at Yale when it was shot. Her inexperience is horribly exposed and the film ended her hopes of leading lady status. Nevertheless she has continued working in film and TV to the present day with recognition for her work in The L Word.
