I, Frankenstein Screencaps
In 1795, Dr. Victor Frankenstein (Aden Young) creates a monster (Aaron Eckhart), a soulless creature patched together from corpses, and then rejects it. In a fit of rage, the creature kills Victor's wife Elizabeth (Virginie Le Brun)
and Victor chases it to the Arctic to get revenge, but succumbs to the
weather. The creature buries his creator and is then attacked by demons before being rescued by the gargoyles Ophir (Mahesh Jadu) and Keziah (Caitlin Stasey), who bring it before the gargoyle queen Lenore (Miranda Otto) and their commander Gideon (Jai Courtney). Lenore explains that they were created by the Archangel Michael
to battle demons on Earth and protect humanity. They name the creature
"Adam" and invite him to join them, but he declines and departs after
being given weapons that allow him to "descend" demons (destroying their
bodies and trapping their souls in Hell) as they have the symbol of the Gargoyle Order carved on them.
Throughout the centuries, Adam fends off the demons that pursue him. During a modern-day confrontation at a nightclub, a human police officer is killed. While Adam is summoned by the gargoyles once more, the demon Helek (Steve Mouzakis) reports that Adam is alive to his leader, the demon-prince Naberius (Bill Nighy), who is disguised as billionaire businessman Charles Wessex, and his right-hand man, Dekar (Kevin Grevioux). Wessex has employed scientist Terra Wade (Yvonne Strahovski)
to conduct experiments with reanimated corpses, and sends a group of
demons led by his most formidable warrior, Zuriel (Socratis Otto), to
attack the gargoyles' cathedral and capture Adam so he can unlock the
secret to giving life.
Before Lenore can punish Adam for the police officer's death, the
cathedral is attacked, and Adam convinces Ophir to release him. In the
ensuing battle, a number of gargoyles, including Ophir and Keziah, are
"ascended" (returned to and trapped in Heaven)
while Lenore is captured and brought to an abandoned theater. Adam and
Gideon head there where Gideon exchanges Lenore for Victor
Frankenstein's journal, containing the secrets of the experiment. Adam
follows Zuriel to the Wessex Institute, where he learns that Naberius
plans to recreate Frankenstein's experiment and create thousands of
reanimated corpses as the souls of the descended demons will be able to
return from Hell if they have soulless bodies to possess. Adam retrieves
the journal and escapes and later confronts Terra before they are
attacked by Zuriel. Adam manages to "descend" Zuriel.
Adam warns the remaining gargoyles of Naberius' plan and Lenore sends
Gideon to kill him and retrieve the journal. After a violent fight,
Adam is forced to "ascend" Gideon and then decides to burn
Frankenstein's journal and destroy its secrets before the gargoyles come
after him. Adam evades them, leading them to the Wessex Institute where
they join battle with Naberius' demons, descending Dekar early in the
fight. While the battle progresses, Adam ventures into the Institute to
rescue Terra, who had been kidnapped by Naberius, who takes his true
demonic form and activates the machine. Naberius overpowers Adam, and
tries to have one of the demon spirits possess him, but Adam proves
immune as he has grown his own soul. As the gargoyles attempt to stop
the reanimated demons, Adam carves the symbol of the Gargoyle Order on
Naberius, sanctifying his very body and utterly destroying it,
descending Naberius alongside all the other demons in his army, and
causing the entire building to collapse.
Recognizing Adam's bravery, Lenore rescues him and Terra and forgives
Adam for Gideon's death. Adam retrieves his weapons. After bidding
farewell to Terra, Adam departs to begin an immortal quest to protect
the humans of the world and hunt demons for selfless reasons, the
attitude that had earned him his soul in the first place. In so doing,
he embraces his role and his true name of "Frankenstein".
