Frankenstein Netflix Movie Review — Guillermo del Toro's gothic masterpiece in theaters now on Netflix in November
From writer-director Guillermo del Toro comes Frankenstein (2025), a long-cherished passion project based on Mary Shelley’s classic. Starring Oscar Isaac as a tortured Victor Frankenstein, Jacob Elordi as the creature, and Mia Goth, Frankenstein delivers lush production design, tragic grandeur, and a story steeped in gothic horror and emotional depth. I found it to be a gothic masterpiece — one of the most visually arresting, emotionally resonant takes on Shelley’s novel in recent memory. Between Isaac’s conflicted scientist, Elordi’s monster finding sorrow in his creation, and Del Toro’s signature blend of beauty and darkness, this film doesn’t just adapt the story — it elevates it. In this review, I dive into what makes Frankenstein shine so bright as the definitive Frankenstein story
