The aspect of "Frankenstein" is that it is always integrated with the point that these two characters: Victor and the Monster will always be linked. Writer/Director Guillermo Del Toro brings a slightly different energy to the proceedings but one cannot help but see certain extrapolations and tendencies with comparison to Kenneth Branagh's "Frankenstein" back in the mid-1990s .The motivations here are more realistic but almost less gothic in certain ways.

After "Promising Young Woman", writer/director Emerald Fennell had some big shoes to fill. That film was subversive and a big swing, especially with its ending. It is the same with Fennell's new film "Saltburn" though it does take the same horror/thriller spin but with a much more devious character.
