Frankenstein (2025)
Frankenstein is streaming in the UK on Netflix.
The verdict
Frankenstein has pulled the kind of numbers most English films never see. It carries a 7.6/10 on TMDB across 3,877 ratings — comfortably clear of the pack. At 150 minutes, it asks for a real chunk of your night. In the UK you can stream it on Netflix.
Should you spend 2h 30m on it?
2h 30m of English drama with fantasy threaded through, not one for younger kids. Long enough that it wants your full attention rather than a second screen.
- Why
- It rates 7.6/10 on 3,877 ratings so far — a strong early showing.
- Skip if
- you want plot momentum over character work
- Best for
- An evening with no interruptions
