Good Time Watching "Frankenstein" | 132

Spoilers ahead for "Frankenstien" is Guillermo del Toro’s latest and frankly stunning adaptation after his 2022 stop motion “Pinocchio”. Based on Mary Shelley’s 1818 “Frankenstein; or, The Modern Prometheus” told in 3 parts. The prelude introducing us to current day 1857 as a Royal Danish Navy ship is trapped in the ice as the monster attacks, Young Victor’s tragic upbringing from the moment his mother dies in child birth through the explosion of the tower, and the creature’s tale picking up from his narrow escape from the exploding castle, the finding of a friend, and his confrontation with his creator in the arctic.

The film is produced by del Toro, J. Miles Dale (The Shape of Water, Harold & Kumar Go to White Castle), and Scott Stuber (2010’s Wolfman, Ted, Ted 2).

The Cast consists of Oscar Isaac as Dr. Victor Frankenstein, Jacob Elordi as the Monster, Mia Goth pulling double duty as both soon to be sister-in-lay Lady Elizabeth Harlander and Baroness Claire Frankenstein. Felix Kammerer as younger brother William, David Bradley as the Blind Man, Lars Mikkelsen as Danish Captain Anderson, Charles Dance as victor’s father, Baron Leopold Frankenstein, and Christoph waltz as Henrich Harlander.
