Look,i really like monsters but just like the universal dracula,there is'nt much substance in this movie.
But i still think its carried by the fact that:
1.frankenstein is'nt a "MONSTER" exactly,he's extremely afraid and does'nt know the world.
Thats why he's pushing against the townsfolk.
But its also pretty understandable from the town people's perspective because he killed a little girl.
(This is the last 20 minutes btw)
And our scientist....is fine,like come on he is'nt a well developed character at all.
Still like him but he's not an amazing character.
Its paced well.
Im still conflicted if i should give it 4 stars or 2 stars

How It Feels
Read from this film's synopsis, keywords and credits, and used to work out what it sits beside.
A stark meditation on the consequences of unchecked ambition and the tragedy of creation, wrapped in Gothic horror. The creature emerges not as a villain but as a victim of revulsion, making this a deeply sad reckoning with what happens when we play god.
