Im going to watch Frankenstein on Netflix this weekend. The book is one of my favorites. I very much enjoyed Pans Labyrinth and The Shape of Water.
Here‘s a negative review from a big fan of the book. Who says he changes and leaves out big parts of the story for visuals sake, which is my fear with Del Toro.

TieDyeDude With a story so ubiquitous in pop culture, I think it only makes sense to put your own spin on it. Otherwise, what is going to distinguish it from the countless other iterations? I've never read the book, but this version actually made me want to read it more than any other I've seen. I'll be interested in hearing what you think 🙂 3w
Lands @TieDyeDude That‘s why I‘m watching it. The problem for me is when it becomes about the horror and not the psychology of the story. If you break the backbone of a plot why even call it the same story. 3w
TieDyeDude Gotcha. I definitely would not say that del Toro sacrificed story for horror. I hope you enjoy it. 3w
