Ken Russell takes that and runs with it, there's a seance and a reading of a pornographic ghost story. Creator/PercyShelley (Creator/JulianSands) prances about naked on the roof during a thunderstorm, Byron has a robot stripper in his bedroom and there's stuff with leeches. If it's possible for an entire film to be a BigLippedAlligatorMoment, this is one.

British director Creator/KenRussell's 1986 take on how Mary Shelley was inspired to write Literature/{{Frankenstein}}.
It's been well documented that Mary Shelley visited Lord Byron and his biographer Dr. Polidori in Geneva with her husband and stepsister during the stormy summer of 1816, was challenged to write a ghost story, got the idea of Frankenstein from a nightmare and began a short story which eventually became a novel.

!!Tropes:
* AdaptationDyeJob: For the Shelleys. The real ones both had dark hair, these versions are both blonde.
* BiTheWay: Byron, not surprisingly, as the real one probably was.
* BrotherSisterIncest: Byron and his (half) sister Augusta in the backstory. Now she's dead, he gets one of his maids to wear a mask of her during sex.
* DomesticAbuse: Byron kicks Claire in the face and threatens to shove her head in the fire after she makes a joke about his club foot, no-one seems particulary troubled. He's pretty aggressive towards her throughout.
* {{Gayngst}}: Polidori.
* HeManWomanHater: Byron is portrayed as one, for some reason. The real Byron wasn't.
* HistoricalDomainCharacter: All five leads.
* OnlySaneMan: Mary, to begin with. Though even she starts to lose it later on.
* TheOphelia: Claire.
* SexIsEvilAndIAmHorny: Seems to be troubling Polidori.
* SoundtrackDissonance: The electronic Dolby music is at odds with the period setting.
* TheyWastedAPerfectlyGoodSandwich: There's a dinner scene, barely any of the dinner actually gets eaten.
* VomitIndiscretionShot: Mary throws up onscreen when she sees Claire crawling around in the mud with a rat in her mouth.
* WomanInWhite: Claire wears a white dress. Mary spends much of the film in a white nightdress, although it gets very dirty and shabby towards the end.
