Guillermo del Toro's "Frankenstein" Brought to Life

Tamara Deverell, production designer for Guillermo del Toro's "Frankenstein," described her awe upon seeing the nearly completed set of Victor Frankenstein's lab.

"I walked into the lab set when we were just finishing it," Deverell says, "and I was like, 'It … it's alive!'"

The massive laboratory, set atop a Scottish stone tower with a large round window, features intricate apparatus and a malformed body on an operating table, embodying del Toro's vision of a handcrafted epic.

"I wanted a handmade movie of an epic scale," del Toro told AP.

Del Toro's adaptation, a $120 million Netflix epic, merges various filmmaking arts. Creature designer Mike Hill describes the team as

"one big group of monster makers."
