Review: Guillermo del Toro's Frankenstein
Guillermo del Toro brings a fresh perspective to the classic story of Frankenstein.
A brilliant but egotistical scientist creates a monstrous creature, leading to the downfall of both the creator and his creation.
Guillermo del Toro's adaptation is based on Mary Shelley's novel, Frankenstein: or the Modern Prometheus, first published anonymously in 1818.
- Universal's Frankenstein (1931)
- Hammer Films' The Curse of Frankenstein (1957)
These horror movies are just a few examples of the many takes on the novel.
Guillermo del Toro breathes new life into the much filmed story of Frankenstein.
Author's summary: Guillermo del Toro's Frankenstein is a fresh take.
