This is particularly due to s solate settg on a gay cisg beach and the e of shadow by cematography matra Claire Mathon.

More fixated on his pannship wh his male partner and antagonizg a society uneasy by his mere prence, Griff is a figure wh his own queer unrcurrent like the monster Frankenste, another horror masterpiece om openly gay director Jam Whale.
