Guillermo del Toro has realized a long-standing dream project in Frankenstein—one that may extend beyond the confines of Mary Shelley’s book. Between his own Frankenstein and The Shape of Water (a not-so-subtle riff on Creature From the Black Lagoon), it seems del Toro is working his way through interpreting the full line-up of Universal monsters; perhaps at some point he’ll complete his own set of the Big Six. If he does, Blade II could count as his version of a Dracula movie. And even if he doesn’t, Blade II still makes a surprisingly decent companion piece to his Frankenstein.
Blade II may be sillier than Guillermo del Toro’s Frankenstein, but it still makes a good companion piece
