Hello my fellow Frankenstein<\/a> fans,<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

I am here to review the exciting new 2025 version of Mary\u00a0Shelley<\/a>‘s classic novel. I remember reading Mary Shelley’s book in high school a long time ago, and I recall how incredible it was that an 18-year-old woman could write such an outstanding piece of literature. Over the years, there have been many different interpretations of Frankenstein, from the original with Boris Karloff <\/a>to Frankenweenie<\/a> by Tim Burton<\/a> and, of course, The Rocky Horror Picture Show<\/a>, which is similar, but none of them truly captured what del Toro’s version has. I am excited that Netflix decided to give this a limited theater release because this is the kind of film and the kind of work del Toro creates that you really need to see on a big screen.<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

When I first heard that Guillermo del Toro<\/a> was making his version of Frankenstein, I was ecstatic. Knowing his love for gothic horror, monsters, and source material, I knew this movie would be in excellent hands. When the teaser trailer dropped on Netflix, I watched it at least ten times straight because of the stunning visuals and the sheer excitement I felt knowing this incredible filmmaker was bringing his take on Frankenstein to the screen. I know he wanted to make this film for most of his career, and I was thrilled he finally got the chance. My anticipation for the film was palpable. I told everyone and anyone to watch the trailer, and I was so incredibly excited for the theatrical release. But I also worried because it was a limited release, and I feared my city might not get it in theaters. Luckily, it did, and I was able to see it with an audience in a theater. With all the streaming platforms we have today, and with Frankenstein currently on Netflix, there is no substitute for experiencing a movie in the theater. That is where you genuinely feel the breadth, depth, and power of cinema\u2014where you can sense what the filmmaker really intended, especially with a cinematic architect like del Toro in the director\u2019s chair.<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n
