Frankenstein (the 2025 Guillermo del Toro one) | VERN'S REVIEWS on the FILMS of CINEMA
I don’t say this lightly, but I think Guillermo del Toro’s FRANKENSTEIN might be up there pretty high among the top Frankensteins? Or at least it hits hard

Parent-creature conference: I loved Guillermo del Toro's personal, romantic take on FRANKENSTEIN.

I was curious, out of the top ten worldwide box office champs for each year, how many movies were original, written-for-the-screen stories. No adaptations. No remakes. No sequels. Starting with 1977
'77: 4; 78: 5; 79: 3
'80: 3; 81: 7; 82: 6; 83: 4; 84: 8 (wow!);

I had a great time with Steven (PSYCHO GOREMAN) Kostanski's reimagining of DEATHSTALKER, an absurdly awesome practical effects fantasia and excellent starring vehicle for Daniel Bernhardt (seen here with swamp monster friend).

I don't think CONEHEADS is very funny, but it's interesting because it depicts anti-immigrant people as despicable weasels, which of course was not seen as controversial or even political at the time because, duh.

Steven Kostanski told Bleeding Cool that he got the idea to cast Daniel Bernhardt in DEATHSTALKER because he was watching BLOODSPORT: THE DARK KUMITE.

GHOST KILLER: A college student (Akari Takaishi from BABY ASSASSINS) haunted by the ghost of a hitman (Masanori Mimoto from HYDRA) must allow him to possess her and avenge the organization that betrayed him. Another fun one from action genius Kensuke Sonomura and writer Yugo Sakamoto.

SISU: ROAD TO REVENGE is a great standalone action sequel. Elegantly simple construction, joyously absurd violence, mythical escalation, and then somehow it genuinely moved me. Stephen Lang and Richard Brake with Russian accents are the perfect opposition for our Finnish Rambo.

I love that DEATHSTALKER (2025) has an homage to the dream demons from FREDDY'S DEAD. (Also Freddy's resurrection in THE DREAM MASTER).
