A film as misshapen and compelling as its central creature, Mary Shelley’s Frankenstein is a beautiful monstrosity in 4K.
This release comes outfitted with a spectacular array of fascinating extras and the best transfer of the film to date.
It improves on the original with inventive, gracefully repulsive special effects and an agreeable post-Watergate anti-authoritarian message.
It’s driven by Frank Darabont’s desire to lavish a generous production budget on recreating his favorite bits from better, more vital crime films.
It’s as much a parody of the new horror breed as it is of the 1950s monster flicks.
Even in lighter fare, they point to something sinister, be it imminent attack, loneliness, or even racism.
It’s a stellar work-in-progress—a grisly, thrilling, and uneven take on the zombie apocalypse that’s still finding its footing.
Anyone expecting an equivalent to the splendid 1992 cinematography doc Visions of Light is in for a letdown.
Were The Mist about mist and not monsters, human or otherwise, it might have remained nervy and unsettling.
With The Mist, Frank Darabont ditches the warm and fuzzies for out-and-out cynicism.
Today’s “5 for the Day” pays tribute to that which comes just before the closing credits: the parting shot.
The appeal of Frank Darabont’s film isn’t exactly inexplicable.
A handsome DVD package for America’s favorite romanticized prison rape drama.
The film suggests a life boiled down to hunter and hunted, with hasty negotiations and clever fake-outs.
The Majestic is Frank Darabont’s pure-hearted Capra riff, efficient retro-Hollywood cheese where the good guy wins
