Frankenstein
Scariest part about this was seeing that Netflix logo in the theater before it started
Guillermo Del Toro proves himself as one of the best once again. I think he manages to shed light on parts of the Frankenstein and his creation that shows how truly tragic their stories are. Both learning from the actions and mistakes of their fathers, they were put on unavoidable paths. Victor let that consume him while the creature learned to coexist with it. I think it’s a beautiful depth that many adaptations have been missing.
As the driving forces, it’s no surprise that Oscar Isaac and Jacob Elordi act their asses off in this movie. As someone that doesn’t like anything else he’s ever been in, I really have gained a new respect for Elordi as an actor. He’s unrecognizable as the Monster.
