Above all, I strive to tell powerful, human stories. To touch something deeper than what current trends have conditioned us to expect from film. Stories that make people contemplate more than just the film itself, but their own thoughts and actions.

Frankenstein

Dir. Guillermo del Toro

James Whale's Frankenstein (1931)

Dir. James Whale
71 min

"It's alive!" Nearly a century later this iconic take on Mary Shelley's novel still kicks: the production design is impressive, Whale's lean, angular direction has plenty of snap, and Boris Karloff imbues the monster with no little pathos.

Bride of Frankenstein

Dir. James Whale
75 min

Funnier, more outrageous, and just as goth as the 1931 hit, this is a black comedy about mad scientists playing god, the monstrous craving for a mate, about the ultimate male-order bride, and her indelible response to being married off to a mouldier man.
