What happens

Frankenstein and Me is a 1996 independent family horror film directed by Robert Tinnell. Loosely inspired by the enduring legacy of Frankenstein's monster in literature and cinema, the film blends elements of fantasy, coming-of-age drama, and horror homage. It is notable for marking the first feature-length film appearance of actor Ryan Gosling. The film was released in Germany as Frankenstein & Ich. (from Wikipedia, CC BY-SA)
