Creature Designers - The Frankenstein Complex's reviews
Media reviews
The Hollywood Reporter
"Jammed with enough interview footage to delight even fanboys who know most of this stuff already, Gilles Penso and Alexandre Poncet's doc is by no means too geeky for more casual fans to enjoy"
La Razón
"The result [is] affected in excess by the TV structure of documentary with talking heads and we [miss] generous fragments of the films they are talking about"
El País
"It's a shame that Penso and Poncet haven't found a way to lighten the weight of so many talking heads [...] because 'The Frankenstein Complex' manages to transmit in an exemplary way the long path towards an era of expressive glory and the chiaroscuro the digital era brought in"
The Guardian
"It will no doubt be of most relevance to genre aficionados, but illuminating nonetheless for anyone interested in contemporary film-making"
Fotogramas
"To see and to listen to genius of the handmade F/X or to directors like John Landis, Guillermo del Toro or Joe Dante is, besides a colossal pleasure, a extremely romantic and nostalgic master class. But the documentary stays there, which is no little, but sounds like a mere fanfic"
