OPINION - Jacob Elordi's Frankenstein is sexy, articulate and emotionally sophisticated. It is the monster we need now

Guillermo del Toro’s Frankenstein, just out on Netflix, gives us a monster we might fall in love with. Jacob Elordi’s creature is articulate and emotionally sophisticated, worlds away from the grunting brute of horror movie tradition. It’s the latest in a horde of films resurrecting our favourite monsters with unnerving tenderness. Every age gets the monsters it deserves, and ours is one in which they’re closer to us than ever.
