The horribly cast DeNiro movie was a little closer to the book, but did take some artistic license. Kenneth Branagh's outstanding performance as Victor was wasted in that film. The book is well worth the read, and is in many ways current today in its examination of technology and morality (should something be done simply because it can be done?)

You might also find interest in the Ken Russell film, "Gothic," which is about Percy and Mary Shelley's stay with Byron.
