Frankenstein

One of the best Frankenstein adaptations, if not the best we've ever seen. While there are some minor differences between Shelley's book and this movie (Victor is notably older and his relationship with his parents are different) Guillermo del Toro captures the ultimate essence of Frankenstein as a story. For the first time we get an adaptation that shows the true nature of the story, that Victor was always the monster of the tale. The costumes are also very accurate to the period, and I commend del Toro on his use of practical effects as much as possible. The film definitely should have had a wider theatrical release
