Only monsters play God…
Guillermo del Toro brings his own, utterly distinct artistic vision to the 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.
Guillermo del Toro’s latest creation is every bit as toweringly ambitious and electrifyingly spectacular as its eponymous scientist, brought (back) to life by a staggering ensemble cast which includes Mia Goth, Christoph Waltz and Charles Dance.
Jacob Elordi, meanwhile, delivers the performance of his career in an utterly unrecognisable, deeply felt transformative turn as the Creature, continuing in the esteemed cinematic legacy which began in 1931 with Boris Karloff.
