Movie #3573 "Frankenstein" (netflix) Did we really need another one of these? Maybe.... Story here seems even closer (and morbid) to the original, and there's a push to get some real acting out of the "creature" to help balance out the overacting by Dr. Frankenstein, but it never pulled me in. There was some creepiness in moments (especially. the room full of body parts), the sets were beautiful, and they were all set on fire at one point, which was amazing.... The theme is even more topical with the influx of A.I. into our culture these days so it was well worth watching to enable us to think of the consequences of our actions. But like I said above, it never pulled me in ---and I think that is important to have the audience get pulled in to feel for the "creature." Not enough time in the film for us to get to do that. (too much emphasis maybe on the accoutrements? ) I'd give it 3.8 out of 5.
