At the helm of Young Frankenstein is the incomparable Mel Brooks, known for his knack for blending satire with slapstick humor. Brooks, along with co-writer Gene Wilder, crafted a script that paid homage to the classic Universal horror films of the 1930s while injecting it with their unique brand of comedy. With Brooks’s keen directorial vision and Wilder’s impeccable comedic timing, Young Frankenstein became an instant hit, earning critical acclaim and a dedicated fanbase.

Victor Frankenstein is a neurosurgeon who has spent his life distancing himself from the legend of his grandfather who created the monster. But when Victor inherits Frankenstein Castle, he is drawn into the family business of reanimating life.

Reviews

"The best Mel Brooks film with the finest Gene Wilder performance is this near-flawless horror spoof that’s shot in velvety monochrome and pays loving homage to the original Universal monster movies of the 1930s." – The Times
