Mary Shelley's Frankenstein is a 1994 film directed by Kenneth Branagh, starring Robert De Niro, Tom Hulce, Helena Bonham Carter, and Kenneth Branagh. It is an adaptation of Mary Shelley's Frankenstein. It follows the novel closely in relation to other film adaptations, although it does deviate from Mary Shelley's original plot.

Among the deviations from the original book is the creation of the monster bride. In the book, the creation asks Victor Frankenstein to fashion a monster woman for him. He reluctantly agrees, but destroys the creature right before he is about to breathe life into it. However, in the film he goes through with his plan only after the monster murders Elizabeth on their wedding night by thrusting his hand into her chest and ripping out her heart. Victor then takes Elizabeth's body back to his laboratory, where he attaches her head to the exhumed body of Justine, the nanny. He then galvanizes this "new" body and brings Elizabeth back as a horrific bride. When the monster approaches thinking that the bride is meant for him, a stand-off occurs before the bride kills herself by fire.

The film was initially poorly received by some critics and was a flop, grossing $22 million from a film that cost $45 million to make, but it has grown to cult popularity in recent years, and has been praised by some. Film website Rotten Tomatoes, which compiles reviews from a wide range of critics, gives the film a score of 41%.

The film was a part of a brief trend towards high-profile adaptations of classic horror stories (usually with claims of greater authenticity than previous film-versions) following the box-office success of Francis Ford Coppola's Bram Stoker's Dracula. Other films in this trend included Mary Reilly (based on the story of Jekyll and Hyde) and the film Wolf, based on the werewolf mythos.

With a large cult following, many are hoping that with the release of a Bram Stoker's Dracula special edition DVD, that a Mary Shelley's Frankenstein special edition may soon be in the works.

The movie also had a pinball table made that was based on it, as well as a Super Nintendo and Sega Genesis game (the latter of which by Sony Imagesoft), which followed a platform-style format. A Sega CD game was also produced by the same company that had a more adventure-based format that would sometimes switch to a fighting game.
