In the wake of Francis Ford Coppola's triumphant BRAM STOKER'S DRACULA, Sony Pictures were keen to do more updates of classic monsters. Coppola himself prepped MARY SHELLEY'S FRANKENSTEIN as a quasi follow-up to DRACULA, with it adopting the same gothic romance vibe. Eventually, he handed the reins to Kenneth Branagh, who was able to entice Robert De Niro to co-star as "The Creature", but the film was greeted with poor reviews and bad box-office. Is it an underrated gem?
