Oscar-winning director Guillermo del Toro adapts Mary Shelley’s classic tale of Victor Frankenstein, a brilliant but egotistical scientist who brings a creature to life in a monstrous experiment that ultimately leads to the undoing of both the creator and his tragic creation. Starring Oscar Isaac, Jacob Elordi, Mia Goth, Felix Kammerer, with Charles Dance and Christoph Waltz."The Toronto-filmed epic is a thing of grotesque beauty, body horror of such operatic spectacle and emotional impact, it makes you want to applaud with two severed hands." (Toronto Star)
"For all its stylistic brio and an overall mesmerizing look, in which even throwaway visuals sear themselves into your memory, Frankenstein remains the simple, direct story of a man and his nonbiological offspring." (Rolling Stone Magazine)
"Guillermo del Toro delivers a moving masterpiece of horror and romance." (Mashable)
"Del Toro’s love for the grotesque and the abject is sincere and passionate, and there are scenes in 'Frankenstein' that play like thesis statements for the director’s entire career." (AV Club)
"Del Toro throws everything he can at the screen. 'Frankenstein' is loud, bombastic, sublime and silly. This is a universe in which towers totter above precipices, cellars drip hollowly and women wear impossible dresses in the snow." (Time Out)
