I liked the new Frankenstein, but, relevant to an argument we had on here a year or two ago, I want people who haven’t read the book to understand that GdT decided to really hammer the “the real monster is the doctor” message here by changing the plot. In the book, the creature hunts down and carries out separate, premeditated killings of both Victor’s brother and the object of his affections, to pressure him to create the companion. Their deaths are not accidental (nor is Victor involved in killing his brother), as portrayed in the film.
