I'll be honest, I'm not the biggest fan of this version of Frankenstein, I tend to find it tedious. However I said that I wanted to explore horror films that the Academy had even given a nomination to, so here's Kenneth Branagh's version of the Mary Shelley's vision. It was nominated for only one Oscar for best make up, and that is easily understood. The faults that I personally have with the film don't have anything to do with the makeup, which I think is universally excellent. I'm just not the biggest fan of Branagh's brand of film making in general--I find it over blown in most cases (Henry V seriously excluded--that's a great film!).
