I, Frankenstein (2014) Hey what's up guys. Today I'll show you a
science-fiction-fantasy film: "I, Frankenstein"! Spoiler ahead, watch out and take care!
The movie begins with the monster himself, narrating how he came into being.
He is the grotesque creation of a mad scientist named Dr. Frankenstein,
who stitched the monster together using body parts from corpses. Horrified by what he made,
Frankenstein changed his mind and tried to destroy his monster. But the monster survived.
As retribution, the monster killed Frankenstein's wife. Dr. Frankenstein pursued the monster to the
far North, but succumbed to the harsh cold climate. The monster buried Dr.
Frankenstein in his family's cemetery. While staring at his creator's grave,
the monster is beset by two demon-like creatures, who want him to come with them. The latter demon
knocks him out with a pitchfork, while the other mentions that someone named Naberius,
wants the monster alive. Fortunately, the monster is helped by two gargoyles,
who transform into human warriors. They are familiar with demons, and easily dispatch them.
However, they are wondering what about the monster made him interesting to the demons.
The male warrior discovers that he is a monster made by Dr. Frankenstein, and they take the
unconscious creature with them. The monster awakens to find himself,
chained inside a castle. The gargoyles' queen approaches him, and asks what the
two demons want from him. The female warrior reveals that she heard the demons mention
that the dark prince Naberius wants to keep the monster alive. A new male warrior named Gideon,
suggests that they should just destroy the monster, to deprive the dark prince of what
he wants. But the queen realizes that the monster has humanity, and decides to let him live.
The queen reveals that she rules a secret kingdom of gargoyles, whose mission is to rid the world of
demons, who seek to destroy humanity. The demons are led by a dark prince, called Naberius. The
queen offers the monster a place in her gargoyle kingdom; but after what he went through with Dr.
Frankenstein, he never wants to trust anyone again. So He decides to leave, and the queen
lets him. Before he departs, the two warriors give him a baton-shaped weapon that he can use to kill
the demons, and send them back to hell. However, the two gargoyles had confiscated Dr.
Frankenstein's journal from the monster's belongings. The queen instructs Gideon to
hide the journal, since it contains the secrets of how Frankenstein created the monster.
Eons pass, and the monster does not age at all. He spends the years all by himself in remote places.
However, Naberius continues to send his demon hordes after him. The monster kills them all.
It is now the present day, and the monster decides to relocate to the city and hunt down Naberius,
so he can finally be alone in peace. The monster mentions that despite the passage of time, people
are still afraid of his physical appearance. He tracks down a demon inside a nightclub; but he
doesn't get a satisfying answer. A police officer tries to intervene, but unfortunately gets killed.
The gargoyles swoop in, and arrest the monster for killing a human.
Meanwhile, a young female doctor named Terra, is trying to create life,
using a decapitated rat as her test subject. She is bold and brash in her experiments;
but it pays off because the rat is now alive. It's revealed that she works for a billionaire,
who turns out to be Naberius. Concurrently, the demon escapes,
and informs Naberius that the long-elusive monster has now shown himself. Naberius is delighted that
Terra is making progress in her project. He wants to capture the monster, so Terra can study him
and replicate what Dr. Frankenstein did. The monster is taken back to the gargoyle castle.
They want to punish him for getting the police officer killed. She puts the monster in lockdown,
and reminds him that he has the potential to be a good person.
Meanwhile, Naberius sends legions of demons to the gargoyle castle, so they can retrieve
the monster. Gideon leads the charge, and assigns the two warriors to guard the monster.
The gargoyles are greatly outnumbered; but they are ready to die for their heavenly mandate.
The monster is still chained inside a room. He begs the warrior to give him a weapon,
so he can fight as well. The warrior relents and sets the monster free. Eventually,
the demons reach the room, and all three of them fight off the seemingly-endless horde.
But both the two warriors die during the fight. Because gargoyles were created by an archangel,
they return to heaven when they die. The monster meets the demon he fought with
earlier. The demon cackles, as he reveals that the real plan was to distract the gargoyles from
protecting the queen. While she is left alone, the Demon Warrior who commands the army, swoops
in and captures her. The demon further reveals that they are demanding that Gideon give the
monster to them, in exchange for the queen. Gideon learns too late that the monster had
already fled the castle. With his bartering chip gone, he gets Frankenstein's journal from their
vault, and offers it instead. He doesn't know that the monster is in the theater, where the demons
are keeping the queen too. The Demon Warrior releases the queen, and grabs the journal.
The monster follows the Demon Warrior back to Naberius' headquarters. He eavesdrops on their
conversation, and Naberius reveals that he needs Dr. Frankenstein's secrets; so he can put the
spirits of the fallen demons-in-hell into human bodies; so they can walk the Earth again.
Naberius shows Terra the journal, and asks her to continue her project,
and start testing on humans right away. She discovers from his writing that Frankenstein used
electric eels to give life to the monster. Suddenly, The monster breaks into the laboratory.
Terra nervously gives him the journal. Naberius appears, and he tries to persuade the monster to
join his side. Naberius is hellbent on unlocking the secret to creating life; and the monster is
the key to that. However, the monster refuses, and jumps out of the window to escape.
Demon Warrior predicts that the monster will approach Terra, to help him understand the
journal. So they set a trap, and wait for the monster to make his move.
True enough, the monster appears to Terra while she's walking home. He takes her to an
abandoned warehouse, and reveals to her the war between gargoyles and demons. At that moment,
Demon Warrior appears, and starts a fight with him. The monster urges Terra to run and hide.
Demon Warrior gains the upper hand over the monster. He reveals that demons can
only possess a body that has no soul; and the monster is the perfect candidate. Demon
Warrior is about to strike the killing blow when Terra steps in, and tells Demon Warrior
that she needs the monster for her project. While he's distracted, the monster stabs
Demon Warrior, and sends him back to hell. Terra helps the monster, and treats his wounds.
The monster is initially reluctant to accept her help, because he has never felt human compassion
before. All he's known is hate and violence. The monster wants to take Terra to the queen;
so she can help them defeat the demons. Terra is still not sure if she entirely believes everything
the monster is saying; but her instincts tell her that she can trust him. She tells him that
he is not a monster, because he was created by Dr. Frankenstein; it's his own actions that will
determine if he will be a monster. Terra offers to create a companion for the monster, like
Dr. Frankenstein originally promised him. She calls her colleague to help them. However,
Naberius' security guards get wind of what is happening. Terra rushes off to meet him,
but it's a trap and she gets captured. The monster returns to the castle, and confronts
the queen about her hiding the journal from him. He reveals Naberius' plan of reanimating corpses
using Frankenstein's method, so the corpses can be possessed by the demons from hell. This has
been Naberius' plan for centuries, and why he's been so persistent in capturing the monster.
The monster's body can show them how Dr. Frankenstein successfully reanimated dead
body parts. The monster then offers the queen a proposal: he will tell her where Naberius is,
in exchange for the gargoyles helping him and Terra escape. She accepts. However, after the
monster leaves, the queen commands Gideon to kill the monster once he gets the journal.
The monster heads to his hiding place to get Terra; but she's no longer there. He places
the journal inside his jacket. Afterward, he is attacked by Gideon, who follows the queen's
orders. They get into a fast and furious fight, that ends with the monster killing Gideon.
On the other side, Terra confronts Naberius, and tells him that she won't do what he wants her
to do. Naberius says nothing, but just chokes her colleague to pressure her into working again.
The queen receives the news that Gideon is gone. He was her most
trusted warrior, and she mourns his death. Terra uses her dead colleague's corpse in the next
stage of her project. She successfully reanimates him. Unbeknownst to her, The generated electricity
is redirected by Naberius' henchman, to the thousands of human corpses below his mansion.
The monster burns the journal. He's now ready to let go of the hate and insecurity that have
plagued him his whole life. No longer will he define himself by Dr. Frankenstein's actions.
The monster is now prepared to fight for a higher purpose.
He comes up with a plan. He knows the gargoyles will now go after him, because he killed Gideon.
So he walks to Naberius' headquarters, and leads the gargoyles inside,
so they can fight demons instead. Naberius' security guards learn that he is here.
They surround the monster, with Demon Warrior leading them. The gargoyles see this,
and take on the demons themselves. The monster leaves the fight, and comes inside
Naberius' mansion. He tells the dark prince that he will protect humanity at all costs.
While this is going on, Terra tries to override the ongoing reanimation, and stop the thousands
of demons from returning to Earth. But Naberius notices this, and throws Terra into the machine,
saying that he doesn't need her anymore. Naberius jokes that once a demon possesses the
monster's body, then he will never feel alone again. He knows that the monster has lived alone
for centuries, and wants to belong to someone. He draws a pentagram on the monster's forehead,
and attempts to have his body possessed. But the process doesn't work, because it turns out that
the monster has developed a soul of his own. He may have been created as a soulless creature;
but because he has finally realized that mankind is worth protecting, a soul grew inside of the
monster. Naberius mistakenly thinks that the possession was a success. In a split second,
the monster grabs a metal shard, and slices Naberius from his sternum to his belly.
This causes Naberius to be sent back to hell; and with him, his demon hordes on Earth.
Meanwhile, the queen discovers where Naberius is keeping the thousands of corpses.
She trashes the facility, so Naberius won't have access to the human corpses.
When Naberius is slain by the monster, his whole institute collapses to the ground,
and deep inside the Earth's core. However, Terra falls down, and the monster tries to rescue her.
But he can't hold on, and the two of them plummet downwards. At the last moment, the queen rescues
both of them, and takes them to her castle. The monster apologizes for killing Gideon;
and he asks the queen why she saved him. The queen replies that she saved him,
because she saw that the monster is now filled with humane purposes.
Terra asks the monster where the journal is. Gideon answers that he does not need the journal
to tell him who he is anymore. He knows what he wants to do with the life he was given.
The movie ends with the monster keeping watch over the city. He narrates that when the demon hordes
come back, he will be ready to protect mankind again. Finally, the monster also has taken on
a new name. Since he has now reconciled with his painful origin, the name of his father, Dr.
Frankenstein, no longer hurts him; and The name the monster chose for himself is Frankenstein.
