Well, I was excited about this until I saw that they were making Byron the villain...and he NEVER would have said that crap to her by the way. He was supportive of her publishing the book. She even said when she first met him that he was much more “gentle” and “mild” than she expected, so I have no idea what they’re attempting with this characterization, or casting for that matter. - @Thursday, June 14, 2018 5:08 AM

any insight why the book was published under the name of Mary Shelley rather than a male pseudonym? (George Eliot, Currer, Ellis, and Acton Bell.) - @Sunday, June 10, 2018 10:32 AM

watch Ken Russell's 1986 film 'Gothic' based on the same event, it may not have held up over time as well as it could have but its still a far better representation than this hallmark channel PC dreck - @Friday, June 8, 2018 5:22 AM

Just saw it, was ok if you like biography type movies. But, who made a boo boo? At the end of the movie it said, Claire's child died at the age of 10 but, I read else place that she was 5 when she died. - @Thursday, June 7, 2018 5:10 PM

Haunted Summer from 1988 is a good film if you want yarn about Byron and the Shelley's and John Polidori, the creator of the modern Vampire novel. - @Sunday, June 3, 2018 12:30 PM

FYI, Byron came up with his idea for a vampire story on that same night, which eventually inspired Bram Stoker's Dracula. - @Friday, June 1, 2018 3:09 AM

Oh, I hope they show the night of alcohol, absinthe, and debauchery at Lord Byron's castle like in Ken Russell's Gothic. - @Friday, June 1, 2018 3:05 AM

Aamer Kastoff

So Mary Shelly is going to be pure feminist revisionist history. Facts: 1.) Mary Shelley stole the story of Frankenstein from stories about an alchemist named Johann Dippel as well as many already existing stories on the subject. 2.) Mary Shelley in fact received extensive help in writing Frankenstein from her husband, Percy Bysshe Shelley. 3.) Women were published regularly and it was not remotely a scandal or a problem getting published during her time period. 4.) Mary Shelley's mother would have been considered a feminist today Her mother was also an author and died shortly after Mary's birth. 5.) Horror, Science Fiction had existed for centuries and there are thousands of books printed by other authors before Shelley. - @Tuesday, May 22, 2018 4:14 AM

It was kind of boring (I honestly don't know how they managed that considering how wild her life was) and the characters (ESPECIALLY Percy) felt weird and inaccurate. Go watch Gothic instead, it's awful but at least you can't say it's boring lmao - @Saturday, May 19, 2018 10:01 AM

It's all so far from the real people they were and their lives! Byron was not this crap weirdo nut, he never had any affair with her, he respected her as a woman and as a writer/powerful lady on her own, was close loyal supportive friend to her as he was to Shelly of course. He helped them in all ways. Shelley and B were never antagonists over anything, just different tempers and different life style choises. She wasn't played down by them, rather the opposite. Shelley was an ante litteram "feminist"! - @Sunday, April 22, 2018 10:07 PM

This looks like shit. Even worse, it feels like the creators didn't even bother reading the novel and watched the movie instead. How else to explain the moronic reanimation bit? Have they confused her with Lovecraft maybe? Stupid. - @Wednesday, April 18, 2018 11:39 PM
