Frankenstein (2025) is the lifelong passion project of Academy Award-winner Guillermo del Toro. This atmospheric retelling stays faithful to Mary Shelley’s 1818 gothic roots while adding del Toro’s signature touch of "beautiful monsters." The story begins in the frozen Arctic, where a dying Victor Frankenstein (Oscar Isaac) is rescued by a research ship. He recounts his harrowing journey: a brilliant scientist obsessed with conquering death, Victor stitches together a living being from the remains of the deceased. When his creation, The Creature (Jacob Elordi), awakens, Victor is horrified by its appearance and abandons it. The film follows the Creature’s tragic journey through a cruel world as it seeks its creator for answers, leading to a path of vengeance that destroys everything Victor loves. With stunning cinematography and an emotional core, this is widely considered the definitive modern adaptation of the classic tale.
