How I would rewrite 1957's The Curse of Frankenstein
Now, I won't be rewriting the whole film cause that's not my issue and I don't have the time. But the movie kinda lost me after Victor and Paul's tussle for Bernstein's brain. These are just my suggestions.
Paul damages Bernstein's brain beyond repair. Victor knowing Paul was the one to educate him since childhood and his stance of creating the monster decides to change his mind on the matter, literally, by using his brain for the monster. Victor kills Paul, takes his brain and the monster is alive!
Similar to the ending the monster goes berserk. Victor shoots Elizabeth trying to shoot the monster, fatally this time. And the monster is engulfed in flames and burns down the house. Victor loses everything. Victor's ego being what led to his downfall is great, I just wish they fully committed cause there were still six more films after that one.
If you have any suggestions or criticisms please let me know.❤️
