Guillermo Del Toro's Frankenstein: A Haunting Epic
To close out this year's Halloween horror-thon, I decided to check out Guillermo Del Toro's dark reimagining of Mary Shelley's classic novel, Frankenstein.
The original Frankenstein film from 1932, and its sequel, the Bride of Frankenstein, were some of Del Toro's favorite films from his childhood, greatly influencing his faith and love for monsters and gothic romances.
Development for this rendition started in 2007, with the film being fast-tracked in recent years, thanks to Netflix. The story centers on the life of Baron Victor von Frankenstein (Oscar Isaac), who vows to overcome death following the tragic loss of his mother.
