Plot

Sumptuous, atmospheric adaptation of the gothic horror story with the emphasis on the tragic romance between the doc and his sister. Superb costumes, with Branagh looking suitably crazed as the misguided surgeon, but De Niro gets the sympathy vote, if only for putting the wind up the luvvies.
