[Dr Kain]

Del Toro's Frankenstein was reallly damn good. It isn't remotely accurate in the slightest, but it does follow the formula set by the book and keeps in tone with the spirit of it, most of the time. There are a couple of aspects I did not care for, such as them turning Viktor's dad into an abusive piece of shit, having Elizabeth be engaged to his brother, and him having unlimited financing for his experiments, but when the movie was on its A game, it was on it's FUCKING A GAME!! Outside of Mia Goth, who I felt was a bit miscast, all of the actors were perfect. They all gave it their best performance and the movie was better for it. The monster himself was badass and one of the most accurate adaptations to date as far as characterization is concerned. This is hands down my second or third favorite movie of the year and probably my third favorite version of the book. It might not be the groundbreaking masterpiece that was Nosferatu, but it's definitely one worth checking out. A shame it will never get a physical media release.
