Frankenstein at the LFF Review

A vampy, campy Gothic fever-dream, this adaptation of Mary Shelley's book amplifies the moody vibes to create a haunting experience.

The themes of man's arrogance, cruelty, and inhumanity to man still feel relevant 200 years after the book was written, echoing concerns about 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 classic tale, wasting no time in making it his own.

Author's summary: A haunting adaptation of Frankenstein with relevant themes.
