4 gothic horror adaptations that are darker, sadder, and crueler than Frankenstein

The horror genre has expanded in so many ways over the past few decades, and I would argue that it’s doing a lot of heavy lifting in keeping the theatrical experience alive. Everyone always wants to flock to the cinema to get scared silly, and I get it. And while Guillermo del Toro’s long-gestating Frankenstein isn’t a traditional horror film, nor did it receive a wide release on the big screen, I believe it’s one of the best films of the year.
