  • Frankenstein’s monster was male and specifically asked for a female bride, it’s an integral part of the story. If Frankenstein’s monster asked for a non-binary partner, that too would be an integral part of the story and I would have used non-binary instead of female.

    The entire film is predicated on a female Frankenstein’s monster and from what I now understand, lots of feminist themes.

    If this were a parody of a Disney Princess movie and it was predicated on a male lead, I’d have to use the same language but you wouldn’t flip out.

    I understand what you’re trying to get at, but I don’t think this is a spot to make a stand on gender language norms and the word “female” being sexist. There are times when it is, but this isn’t that time.









  • Who is this movie for? You have incredible dramatic actors, but the tone and make-up looks campy and goofy. It doesn’t feel like a scary horror movie; it looks too silly to take seriously. The previews are mostly just close-ups of Bale and Buckley with black shit on their faces. I also can’t imagine what the plot would be, besides making a female Frankenstein’s monster, and due to the above I can’t be bothered to find out why.
