If you love atmospheric, character-driven horror with big ambitions, del Toro's take on the classic story delivers both spectacle and tragedy across its 2h 30m runtime. With a strong ensemble and a 76% TMDB score, it's a thoughtful exploration of a creator and his creation undone by hubris.
Guillermo del Toro, a lifelong devotee of the Frankenstein story, produced the film alongside J. Miles Dale and Scott Stuber, backed by a sizable $120 million budget.
Guillermo del Toro turns his gothic sensibilities loose on one of literature's most enduring tales in Frankenstein (2025), a drama-fantasy-horror hybrid that reframes the classic story of ambition and its consequences. Dr. Victor Frankenstein, played by Oscar Isaac, is a brilliant but egotistical scientist whose monstrous experiment to bring a creature to life ultimately unravels both the creator and his tragic creation. As the tagline warns, "Only monsters play God." Jacob Elordi takes on the role of The Creature, while Christoph Waltz appears as Harlander, Mia Goth as Elizabeth / Claire Frankenstein, and Felix Kammerer as William Frankenstein. Together with a $120 million budget and del Toro's signature eye for detail, the film builds a richly realized world across its 2h 30m runtime. Rated R and holding a 76% score on TMDB, Frankenstein is a haunting, emotionally charged retelling that leans into both spectacle and sorrow. For fans of prestige horror and character-driven drama, it's a compelling watch, and it's available to stream right now on Netflix and Netflix Standard with Ads in the US.
