Frankenstein at the LFF Review
A vampy, campy Gothic fever-dream, this adaptation of Mary Shelley's book turns up the moody vibes to 100.
It's been 200 years since Mary Shelley wrote Frankenstein, yet its themes - man's arrogance, cruelty, and inhumanity to man - still feel relevant.
- Man's overreach and giving life to a misunderstood creature feel chillingly relevant to the upcoming AI revolution.
A story about humans overreaching and giving monstrous new life to a misunderstood, yet deadly, creature? Well, hello upcoming AI revolution.
Guillermo del Toro puts his own spin on the story, with killer costume design and excellent performances from an all-star cast, teaching us valuable lessons.
Author's summary: Del Toro's Frankenstein is a Gothic fever-dream.
