Here’s The Cast Of Guillermo Del Toro’s Monster Movie

Guillermo del Toro’s adaptation of Mary Shelley’s classic Gothic novel Frankenstein finally arrives on Netflix on Friday after a three-week run in theaters.

When del Toro unveiled the first trailer for Frankenstein at Netflix’s annual Tudum celebration in May, he noted for the crowd, “This is for me the culmination of a journey that has occupied most of my life.

“I first read Mary Shelley’s Frankenstein as a kid and saw Boris Karloff in what became for me a religious state,” del Toro added. “Monsters have become my personal belief system. There are strands of Frankenstein throughout my film— Cronos, Blade, Hellboy, big time on Pinocchio and a long, long, et cetera.”

Frankenstein opened in theaters on Oct. 17 in New York and Los Angeles to qualify the film for its awards season run. The film expanded to theaters nationwide on Oct. 24 and is still available to watch on the big screen.

Frankenstein, of course, tells the story of Victor Frankenstein, an ambitious doctor obsessed with bringing the dead back to life after suffering a tragic loss in his youth. After he reanimates a being from several different body parts who is simply referred to as “The Creature,” Victor, frustrated with scarred creation, turns his back on the bewildered being, revealing who the true monster is.
