Plot summary
In 1795, Victor Frankenstein assembles a body from corpses and gives it life. The creature buries Victor after he dies in the Arctic, then is attacked by demons and saved by gargoyles Ophir and Keziah, who take him to their cathedral. There Queen Leonore names him Adam and tells him of an ancient war between the gargoyles and demons commanded by Prince Naberius. She invites him to join the fight, but Adam chooses to live apart, armed with baton-like weapons that can destroy demons. For two hundred years he hunts any demon that finds him. In the present day, Adam returns to society and attacks a demon group. Naberius, disguised as the businessman Charles Wessex, runs an institute where the scientists Terra Wade and Carl Avery work to reanimate corpses. He sends his warrior Zuriel to capture Adam.

Did you know?!Facts and trivia about I, Frankenstein (2014)
Can contain spoilers, watch the movie first.
- Aaron Eckhart and Miranda Otto spent three months learning the Filipino martial art of Kali from Ron Balicki and Diana Lee Inosanto before shooting, so their fight scenes as Adam and the gargoyle queen would hold up.
- Kevin Grevioux, who created both the graphic novel and the Underworld film series, said an early draft of his screenplay ended with Kate Beckinsale appearing after the credits as Selene, plus Underworld Easter eggs. None of it survived into the finished film.
