Best Frankenstein Films, American vs. European Moviegoers, & GFX ETERNA Specs Revealed

Hey Readers,

Welcome back! From this week’s film gear announcements to industry news, there’s a ton to go over!

First up — the trailer for Guillermo del Toro’s Frankenstein remake dropped a couple of days ago, and listen…it’s absolutely epic. It’s so epic that we decided to sate our appetite for Mary Shelley’s iconic monster with a list of the best movies that feature the ol’ guy.

Also, did you catch Ana de Armas on Hot Ones? It was a great episode, but she said something really interesting about the differences between American audiences and European ones that you’ll find interesting. Lastly, the specs for the upcoming Fujifilm GFX ETERNA have been released!

Okay, let’s get to it!

Since then, people have used the tale to make movies and TV shows in every other genre as well, even including comedies.

In this post, we go over nine of the best Frankenstein movies and how important they became to cinema.
