Frankenstein (Guillermo del Toro) Review
Guillermo del Toro’s Frankenstein is everything you’d hope for from a director who understands beauty in the grotesque. This adaptation finally tells the story the way it deserves to be told — not just from the scientist’s perspective, but from the Creature’s as well. And that shift changes everything. The film explores Victor Frankenstein’s obsession, guilt and god-complex, but what truly stands out is how del Toro gives the Creature a voice, a soul and a heartbreaking humanity. Instead of being treated like a mindless monster, he becomes a tragic figure. Curious, emotional and painfully aware of his place in

Split Review
Split is M. Night Shyamalan’s psychological thriller that marked a true return to form. The film centers on Kevin, a man with 23 distinct personalities—and a 24th, known only as "The Beast," waiting to emerge. James McAvoy delivers a tour-de-force performance, effortlessly switching between identities ranging from a prim woman to a 9-year-old boy to a cold-blooded predator. It’s unnerving, mesmerizing, and at times even darkly funny. Anya Taylor-Joy adds emotional weight as Casey, a kidnapped girl with a haunting past of her own. The tension builds steadily, and while some scenes border on absurd, Shyamalan keeps you hooked with
