Spoiler-Free Synopsis

Read MoreCollapse

In this English film, the 1816 gathering of Mary Wollstonecraft Godwin (Natasha Richardson), her fiancé, Percy Shelley (Julian Sands), Lord Byron (Gabriel Byrne), Claire Clairmont (Myriam Cyr), and Dr. John Polidori (Timothy Spall) at a Swiss resort spawned the gothic classics, Frankenstein and The Vampyre. What took place on that fateful night to inspire the authors to such horrific fiction?, Gabriel Byrne and Julian Sands play poets Byron and Shelley in Ken Russell's vision of the 1816 party that induced Mary Shelley (Natasha Richardson) to write "Frankenstein." Claire: Myriam Cyr. Polidori: Timothy Spall.
