Some great news this morning for cinema lovers as Guillermo del Toro’s adaptation of Frankenstein is getting a short cinema run ahead of its release on Netflix.

Netflix has announced this morning that Franekstein will release in select cinemas on October 23, and will then release on Netflix two weeks later on November 7.

Please join me in hoping it’ll be playing in a cinema near me, as I’m excited for this one.
