Guillermo Del Toro's Frankenstein: A Beautiful, Haunting Epic
To close out this year's Halloween horror-thon, I checked 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 Del Toro's favorite childhood films, influencing his love for monsters and gothic romances.
Development for this rendition started in 2007, with the film being fast-tracked in recent years, largely thanks to Netflix.
The story centers on Baron Victor von Frankenstein (Oscar Isaac), who vows to overcome death after his mother's tragic loss.
These films greatly influenced his faith, as well as his love for monsters and gothic romances.
Author's summary: Del Toro reimagines Frankenstein as a dark epic.
