Three eleven

Bugonia 

Opinions vary on Bugonia. Mine fwiw is that it was bad in a way that no other film has been bad in before. It had nothing to say but it pretended it did and it didn't really have much plot but pretended it did by adding on stuff that was like growing an extra dick rather than growing an inch on the one you already have.

Nihilist trash. I do not approve.

Frankenstein

I seem to be almost entirely opposed from the "correct opinion" because I really liked it. I felt it was note perfect but for one line. The key would be to ignore the book and not try to compare the film to it but to take it on its own terms. It's a banger. Yes, it's not as subtle as Shelley's work but she wasn't writing a filmplay. And it looked so good!

If you're going to do a remake, make it your own. And don't make it dreary rubbish like Nosferatu.
