“I am.. Frankenstein!”

Dirt in the Gate Movies are thrilled to bring this ambitious 1990 sci-fi horror hybrid underseen classic to GRINDFEST! Directed by legendary schlock-meister Roger Corman, John Hurt stars as Dr. Joe Buchanan, a 21st-century scientist who invents a particle weapon that accidentally fractures the space-time continuum.

Transported from 2031 to 1817 Switzerland, Buchanan comes face-to-face with his intellectual counterpart, Dr. Victor Frankenstein (Raul Julia), and the literal embodiment of his creation (Nick Brimble). As the modern scientist witnesses the unfolding gothic horror, he attempts to intervene in the tragic loop, engaging with a fictionalised Mary Shelley (Bridget Fonda) and facing the catastrophic consequences of technological irresponsibility. Based on the novel by Brian Aldiss, this cult curiosity blends thoughtful philosophical debate with visceral horror and marks a unique, post-modern return to the director’s chair for Corman.
