As a cinephile, I’ve been eagerly anticipating “Frankenstein,” and after watching the upcoming film, I can confidently say that Guillermo del Toro has crafted a wildly enjoyable and deeply touching masterpiece. The passion for this timeless story that del Toro has been nurturing seeps from every frame of the movie.
Contrary to common belief, del Toro’s take on “Frankenstein” doesn’t aim to be a modern-day cautionary tale about artificial intelligence. Instead, it’s an unconventional yet intricate family drama that challenges the conventions of the horror genre. In this reinterpretation, del Toro has effectively hijacked the flagship story and transformed it into a compelling tale of forgiveness.
In other words, del Toro’s vision for “Frankenstein” seems to have hit the mark perfectly in its unconventional yet poignant exploration of love, family, and redemption.
