Bill Nighy wearing a suit and stood in a laboratory in 'I, Frankenstein'
Earlier this month, during the 98th Academy Awards ceremony, it was the likes of Paul Thomas Anderson’s One Battle After Another and Ryan Coogler’s Sinners that stole the headlines. However, one of the sleeper champions of the 2026 Oscars was Frankenstein, the long-awaited adaptation by Guillermo del Toro.
In total, Frankenstein earned three golden statues, just one fewer than Sinners, winning for Best Makeup and Hairstyling, Best Costume Design, and Best Production Design. For months before the film even premiered, Frankenstein was already on many people's radars to take home technical Academy Awards. This is thanks to the record of its director and the story itself, with its many iterations regularly proving popular with critics. However, some Frankenstein interpretations sadly do not find such gushing praise, with one of the worst-reviewed hailing from director Stuart Beattie. Scoring just 5% on review aggregator Rotten Tomatoes, 2014's I, Frankenstein was an unmitigated disaster when it debuted over a decade ago, with the consensus on the review site reading,"Loud, incoherent, and dramatically listless, I, Frankenstein is a remarkably dull fantasy adventure that fails to generate much excitement or interest in its characters." If such a low score sparks your morbid curiosity, you're in luck, as I, Frankenstein is about to stream for free on Plex, starting April 1.

Posts By Macklen Makhloghi 'I, Frankenstein' Is a Cult Classic Starring The Dark Knight's Aaron Eckhart as a character based on Mary Shelley's 1818 creation, I, Frankenstein has since become a cult classic thanks to its strange, overly ambitious blend of horror and action. Described by some as"steampunk-meets-underworld," critics may have disliked the film, but it is its enduring reputation that counts the most. I, Frankenstein's synopsis reads: "Two centuries after Dr. Frankenstein assembles and reanimates his creature, Adam is still living. He becomes embroiled in a war between two immortal races: gargoyles, the traditional protectors of mankind, and evil demons. Since Adam is neither human nor demon, gargoyle Queen Leonore and demon Prince Naberius each want him for their own purposes. It is up to Adam to discover his inner humanity and the reason for his continued existence." I, Frankenstein is streaming on Plex this April.
