In Review: Guillermo del Toro’s Frankenstein
Guillermo del Toro breathes new life into the much filmed story of Frankenstein.
A brilliant but egotistical scientist brings a monstrous creature to life in a daring experiment that ultimately leads to the undoing of both the creator and his tragic creation.
Guillermo del Toro reimagines the genre-defining tale of one mad scientist’s desire to create life from the dead and his creation’s feelings of loneliness and rage when its creator rejects him, and it learns its origins.
Mary Shelley’s novel – Frankenstein: or the Modern Prometheus – was first published, anonymously, in 1818.
Since its publication, there have been many takes on the novel, including horror movies such as Universal’s Frankenstein (1931) and Hammer Films’ The Curse of Frankenstein (1957).
Guillermo del Toro breathes new life into the much filmed story of Frankenstein, the genre defining tale of one mad scientist’s desire to create life from the dead and his creation’s feelings of loneliness and rage when its creator rejects him, and it learns its origins.
Author summary: Del Toro reimagines Frankenstein.
