Movies like Frankenstein Unbound

While more of a musical comedy than a straight-up horror film, The Rocky Horror Picture Show shares Frankenstein Unbound's themes of reanimation and mad science, wrapped in a campy, over-the-top package that is as much a celebration of genre tropes as it is a parody.

Splice delves into the ethics and potential horrors of genetic engineering. Like Frankenstein Unbound, it presents a modern-day Frankenstein story that blurs the lines between creator and creation, with a gripping narrative that explores the fallout from humanity's pursuit of forbidden knowledge.

Kenneth Branagh's 1994 adaptation of Mary Shelley's masterpiece is a lush and dramatic exploration of the Frankenstein legend. If the intertwining of science fiction and Gothic elements in Frankenstein Unbound intrigued you, this film's faithful rendering will likely captivate.

Re-Animator is a 1985 horror sci-fi film that explores the gruesome and ethically ambiguous realm of reanimating the dead, much like Frankenstein Unbound. Fans of the dark and twisted tales of playing God will find this adaptation of H.P. Lovecraft's work eerily satisfying.
