  WSR Narrative Review
Story Synopsis:
Sting plays the mad scientist, Dr. Frankenstein, who falls in love with his fresh-from-Flashdance supreme creation, The Bride (Beals)

DVD Picture:
The anamorphically enhanced 1.85:1 DVD picture exhibits a dated picture that is generally sharp, though fine details and definition are wanting. Hues are warm with lots of browns, but touches of reds, blues, and greens add to the color scheme. Blacks are deep and undefined. Contrast seems a bit low at times, and there is limited detail in the darker scenes. The source element is revealing of dirt and film grain. Edge enhancement and pixelization are also noticed.
