Guillermo Del Toro's Frankenstein: A 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 films from 1932, including the Bride of Frankenstein, were favorites of Del Toro's childhood, influencing his love for monsters and gothic romances.

Development for this rendition started in 2007, with Netflix fast-tracking the film in recent years.

The story centers on Baron Victor von Frankenstein (Oscar Isaac), who vows to overcome death after his mother's tragic loss.

No specific quote available in the text.

Author's summary: Del Toro's Frankenstein is a haunting epic.
