In honour of Tatsuya Nakadai, people owe it to themselves to watch Masaki Kobayashi's monumental trilogy 'The Human Condition' (1959-61). Nakadai is phenomenal in this devastating epic of war.

Alexandre Desplat's score for 'Frankenstein' (2025) is an arresting piece of work. Desplat creates an immersive soundscape. Love it!

'Godzilla Minus Zero' filming overseas in New Zealand and Norway is very intriguing. Will the narrative for this film cross multiple countries. The scope for this one is definitely going to be more expansive than 'Minus One'.

I really hope that the potential 'Shin Gojira' sequel comes to fruition. Maybe once Hideaki Anno has finished his 'Space Battleship Yamato' project, he and Shinji Higuchi will have time to continue their Godzilla story. Would love to see it happen.

Guillermo del Toro's 'Frankenstein' (2025) is an exquisite variation on Mary Shelley's novel! While it diverges from the novel, it fully understands the Sturm und Drang romanticism of the text. It finds pathos and horror in the body. The film has the sweep of a David Lean epic.

Could really do with 'Monarch: Legacy of Monsters' season 2 updates. How's it coming along Legendary, Apple TV? Wonder if they're saving something for Godzilla Fest next month.

So excited to be seeing 'Frankenstein' (2025) on the big screen next week! Guillermo del Toro's films, especially his personal works, always feel special. Can't wait to see how he has adapted Mary Shelley's novel.

Rest well Diane Keaton. Goodness we're really losing some big names this year - Gene Hackman, Robert Redford. David Lynch, Terence Stamp, Claudia Cardinale and now Keaton.

Eager to hear Alexandre Desplat's score for 'Frankenstein' (2025). I have no doubt it'll be an evocatively dark and moody affair.

Love that Guillermo del Toro is back on 'Crimson Peak' mode here! While this does look to have narrative divergences from Mary Shelley's novel, I do love how the Monster here is very much in her mould. Emotional, intelligent and cruel - beauty distorted into abject horror.

A depiction of Frankenstein's Monster that is faithful to Mary Shelley's novel! Such a thing is rare in film and television.

Watched Val Guest's 'The Quatermass Xperiment' (1955) and 'Quatermass 2' (1957) last night. Adapted from Nigel Kneale's first two 'Quatermass' serials, these films are superb pieces of paranoid science fiction horror. They have a gritty, unnerving sense of dread about them.

When it comes to lavishly produced film adaptations of classic British gothic horror novels, the 2020s are starting to feel like the 1990s.

There's an interesting legal drama to be teased out of Mary Shelley's 'Frankenstein'. Firstly the legal implications of Victor's experiments. Secondly, and tantalisingly, the legal ramifications of his Creation. What are the Monster's political rights. How would law apply to him.
