Big thumbs up! We saw it today at the theater. It is coming to Netflix. If you are expecting a horror movie, don't bother. It is a beautiful film that is divided into two parts... the story of Victor Frankenstein and the story of his Monster. It is more of a period piece than a horror movie. There is some gore, but not that much. It is 2:30 long but it kept me engaged the entire time. It is more like an adaptation of the original Mary Shelley story with fantastic acting by the main characters. It is actually touching at times. I would highly recommend it.

 

Doug, I recently listened to Terry Gross (Fresh Air on NPR) interview Guillermo Del Toro, and they talked about Frankenstein. I enjoy his films, and I'm looking forward to watching this on Netflix, November 7. :)
