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.
A story about humans overreaching and giving life to a misunderstood creature is still chilling, with lessons to teach, especially with the upcoming AI revolution.
- Killer costume design
- Excellent performances from an all-star cast
