If MCavoy's name is attached to it, I'm probably going to see it. Charlize Theron is next. Mad Max: Fury road, Monster, and Kubo. Old guard... she acted her heart out, but it was okay in the end.

Now Victor Frankenstein took his shirt off for no other reason than to pull focus. And then wrestled with the monster. Covered in slime. All solid directorial choices.

The Wolfman, Victor Frankenstein, The Creature/John Clare, and Dorian Gray. The enchanting Ms. Ives stands in the center; the dialogue is rich, and it's exceptionally moving.

I love evil scientists and I love sympathetic monsters, so Guillermo del toro has FED me. His movies seem to have a clear idea of power dynamics and where to lend harshness versus empathy

neutral · AI labelView post →I just watched “The Curse of Frankenstein” (Terence Fisher, 1957), Hammer’s vivid Eastmancolor take on Mary Shelley’s classic novel. Peter Cushing stars as Baron Victor Frankenstein and Christopher Lee as the monster. This film is bloodier and more risqué than the 1931 Universal version. 🎃

Jacob Elordi as the creature was great. Oscar Isaac too as Victor Frankenstein. The big themes are there battering you. A good film, but far from great
neutral · AI labelView post →okay, yes, the overly emotional Byronic version of Victor Frankenstein in Del Toro's film is closer to the book than other movies, yes. BUT. I miss the creepy, icy, murderous version from Peter Cushing's portrayal. Or the unhinged maniac of the Universal film

neutral · AI labelView post →I’m seeing people say Del Toro was too lenient on Victor Frankenstein because he gave him an abusive father. But the only way you come out of that movie thinking Victor wasn’t the real monster is if you’re blinded by love for Oscar Isaac (understandable).
