Frankenstein

Tickets: £5
Guillermo del Toro has long circled Mary Shelley’s Frankenstein, the gothic tale of creation, obsession and ruin that has haunted cinema since its beginnings. With Oscar Isaac as Victor Frankenstein and Jacob Elordi reimagining the monster with terrifying freshness, del Toro finally delivers the film he has longed to make
Shot on vast sets in Toronto and on location in Scotland, and steeped in detail from production design to costume, this is a work of monstrous scale and intimacy. Del Toro strips Shelley’s myth down to its raw emotions: ambition, loneliness, desire, dread. A magnum opus from a filmmaker who has always seen the monster as the mirror of our humanity.
