Best Horror Movies: Betty Gabriel on How Kenneth Branagh and Robert De Niro Created a Horror Classic With ‘Mary Shelley’s Frankenstein’
'Get Out' star Betty Gabriel recalls the power of Kenneth Branagh's horror adaptation of 'Mary Shelley's Frankenstein.'
Kenneth Branagh, the Shakespearean wiz of my dreams, brings that passionate theatricality to this piece, and steers the ship with dramatic heft and kinetic electricity. To watch him flesh out this grotesque creature with contemplation and pathos shows that no matter the genre, the character, makeup, clothing (or lack thereof), there is humanity underneath it all. While well-intentioned at first, it becomes a reckless obsession, and the arbitrary cutting up and stitching together of disjointed parts with no regard or respect for them and no attempt at integrating them leads to something beyond his control and, eventually, to his own downfall.
