Frankenstein is a 2004 American science fiction horror television film produced and directed by Marcus Nispel and written by John Shiban. Loosely inspired by Mary Shelley's Frankenstein; or, The Modern Prometheus, and stars Parker Posey as a police detective on the trail of a serial killer, played by Thomas Kretschmann, in present-day New Orleans. The detective is aided in her search by one of the killer's creations, played by Vincent Perez. Adam Goldberg, Ivana Miličević and Michael Madsen co-star.

Frankenstein aired on the USA Network on October 10, 2004. Intended as the pilot for an ongoing series, the planned show was initially deriving from a concept by Dean Koontz. USA and the producers ordered major changes from the concept, resulting in Koontz losing interest in the show in its new form and withdrawing association from the project, later creating a book series based on his initial pitch, entitled Dean Koontz's Frankenstein. Subsequently, executive producer Martin Scorsese also expressed desire to exit the series, before the project ultimately fell through.
