This week, Guillermo del Toro’s long-awaited adaptation of Mary Shelly’s classic Frankenstein will be added to your Netflix subscription, but if you can’t wait to see it or want to simply experience it on a big screen, you can see the film in select theaters right now.
I decided to do just that, and I have to recommend it to any movie fan who's a fan of the visual storytelling of del Toro. The film is visually stunning on a massive screen, and del Toro’s take on the source material, while largely faithful, also includes some intriguing changes. One of the director’s major additions to the story actually reminded me not of Frankenstein but of another classic story del Toro once wanted to make.
