Spoilers for “Frankenstein” 2025 follow.<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n

“Since childhood, I’ve been faithful to monsters. I have been saved and absolved by them, because monsters, I believe, are patron saints of our blissful imperfection, and they allow and embody the possibility of failing.”<\/p>\n

So said Guillermo del Toro when he won the Best Director Golden Globe for “The Shape of Water.”<\/a> Del Toro is a filmmaker who has always had an affinity for monsters and is clearly fascinated with portraying them in complex ways. To del Toro, movie monsters aren’t inherently evil. More often than not, they’re misunderstood.<\/p>\n

Del Toro takes his monster sympathies to the next level with his new adaptation of “Frankenstein.”<\/a> The filmmaker has been trying to adapt Mary Shelley’s iconic novel for years, and Netflix finally gave him the chance. The end result is a typically del Toro-esque movie with arguably the most sympathetic version of Frankenstein’s Monster, AKA the Creature, ever captured on film.<\/p>\n
