Frankenstein (Criterion Collection) [DVD]

Guillermo del Toro's spellbinding take on Mary Shelley's Frankenstein imbues the classic tale with new depths of humanity and dazzling gothic grandeur. This edition shifts between the perspectives of Victor Frankenstein (Oscar Isaac) and the creature (Jacob Elordi) he fashions, reframing the legend as a story of fathers and sons struggling to break free from cycles of trauma. A triumph of darkly ravishing visual invention and operatic storytelling, this is a deeply personal statement from a director drawn to the realm where men and monsters merge.
