Netflix<\/a>, critics\u2019 collective verdict echoed that of the Monster\u2019s manic creator: \u201cit\u2019s alive!\u201d On Rotten Tomatoes, the movie has an 86 percent rating, with critics declaring that this Guillermo del Toro monster mash is a lavish visual feast that isn\u2019t afraid to humanize cinema\u2019s most infamous monster. That humanity comes courtesy of Jacob Elord, whom critics praised for a standout performance that lends crackling electric energy to a movie that isn\u2019t afraid to tell the Monster\u2019s side of the story.<\/p>\nNotably, Frankenstein<\/em> has a Popcorn Rating of 95 percent, meaning that general audiences loved this modern horror masterpiece even more than the critics did. These audiences praised the movie for its stylishly gothic aesthetic and killer effects, both of which combine to make this one of the most visually striking films of the last decade. These audiences also commended the movie for its heartbreaking pathos, the kind that wrings wrenchingly earnest emotion out of what could have been just another creature feature.<\/p>\nIt Was a Monster Mash(up)<\/strong><\/h3>\n\nFrankenstein<\/em> is not a perfect film: it takes too long, for example, to tell a story whose tone whiplashes from frantic horror to romance to adventure and back again. These different sections of the movie are all directed with clear talent and passion, but they also make it seem like Guillermo del Toro was just throwing every idea he had onto the screen. At times, this can make Frankenstein<\/em> feel like its title character: a bunch of different parts animated by the vision of a mad genius.<\/p>\nMore often than not, though, Frankenstein<\/em> works stunningly well, weaving powerful narratives that play out via the most gorgeous visuals. The film is almost distractingly beautiful, all while offering some of the most mesmerizing horror writing the genre has ever known. While the film may very well be a hodgepodge of del Toro\u2019s craziest ideas, this monster of a movie has beauty and brains alike, offering a little something for every kind of filmgoer.<\/p>\nWill you agree that Frankenstein<\/em> is a hot mess of sexy actors and brooding plot, or will this movie leave you as cold as a cadaver? You won\u2019t know until you stream this Netflix exclusive for yourself and see what the hype is all about. In my always humble opinion, it\u2019s the most provocative horror film of the last five years, and one that proves that Guillermo del Toro is still the most reliably ambitious director of the entire genre.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n \u2018 The preceding article may include information circulated by third parties \u2019 <\/em><\/p>\n \u2018 Some details of this article were extracted from the following source www.yahoo.com \u2019 <\/em><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"To me, the scariest phrase in the world might just be \u201cNetflix exclusive;\u201d because of this streamer, I\u2019ve been burned countless times by some of the worst romances and reality shows the world has ever seen.
