“A moving masterpiece of horror and romance.”—Kristy Puchko, Mashable
Oscar-winning director Guillermo del Toro adapts Mary Shelley’s classic tale of Victor Frankenstein, in which a brilliant but egotistical scientist brings a creature to life in a monstrous experiment that ultimately leads to the undoing of both the creator and his tragic creation.
Del Toro has been shaping his vision of Victor Frankenstein’s monster since he was 11 years old, and he views the creature as a newborn rather than a being repaired. With a soaring visual design and outlandish costumes, the tale is refreshed for a new generation.
Victor Frankenstein (Oscar Isaac), the brilliant and driven scientist, sets out to craft a new being (played by Jacob Elordi). Del Toro explores what it means to be human in this tale of ambition, scientific endeavor, and madness. A selection of the Venice Film Festival and the Telluride Film Festival. 2025, Mexico/U.S., DCP, in English and Danish with English subtitles, 149 minutes. Rated R.
