FRANKENSTEIN (2025)

11/9/25 - Frankenstein (2025) - 7-/10

A sumptuously crafted, milk filled, mother loving, long-limbed sexy baby version of the Frankenstein tale that paves its own path while remaining tethered to the lightning filled spirit of the source material. Yes, it shifts points of views, drives and finishes, and lots of plot and character details but it is in service of the essence, at least by my rendering. Perhaps it helps that I have read and seen enough versions of Frank that I enjoyed some deviation, along with all the sexy people and mouth watering gothic production design paired with weird body horror adjacent flourishes that GDT revels in. 

This version of Victor doesn’t care about saving life but defeating death - beating his father and vanquishing what took away his mother…so that he can sleep with her. What a tangled sexual hangups web GDT always weaves. While fresh in many ways, it might not be the tightest screenplay, but it does bring the horrific fun, the cadaverous curiosities and a design of it all that is at the top of its class.

Finally, a new sexy Frankenstein for this generation (not counting all the others that are and forever will be coming out).
