No One Can Conquer Death.
Review written by Jack Aling
Frankenstein is directed by Guillermo del Toro and written by Guillermo del Toro.
Starring Oscar Isaac, Jacob Elordi, Mia Goth & Christoph Waltz.
An adaptation of Mary Shelley's 1818 novel, following brilliant scientist Victor Frankenstein as he brings a creature to life in an experiment that leads to the undoing of both creator and creation.
Unapologetically atmospheric, Frankenstein is proof that we should hand the rights to all the gothic classics over to Guillermo del Toro.
Approaching classic monster horror with medical-grade precision, the care and attention to detail in every shot, set and sequence is a sight to behold. del Toro brings the most authentic portrayal of the infamous story to screen in proudly grotesque fashion.
With an impressive cast to match, Jacob Elordi in particular is incredible as The Creature. The innocent sense of intrigue that slowly turns into wounded confusion and rage encapsulates the film's message and tone so perfectly.
One of the biggest victims of Netflix's release schedule - Frankenstein needs to be experienced on the biggest screen you can find.
