Frankenstein (2025)

FULL SPOILER-FREE REVIEW @ fandomwire.com/frankenstein-review/ "Frankenstein is a powerful, visceral film that solidifies Guillermo del Toro as a master of atmosphere and emotion. Thanks to Jacob Elordi's transcendent performance as The Creature and exceptional multi-departmental work, the movie takes the legendary tale and transforms it into a deep, complex meditation on human fallibility and the terror of rejection. It's a visual and thematic experience that demands patience and personal, intellectual, and emotional investment. Shockingly violent, it's undeniably one of the most important stories of the year. The combination of geniuses in front of and behind the camera results in a feature that confronts us with an undeniable truth: the tale of Frankenstein isn't about creating a monster; it's about the eternal and necessary challenge of recognizing our own humanity in those we reject."
