Frankenstein 2025

Frankenstein is a 2025 American Gothic science fiction film that serves as a passion project for director, writer, and producer Guillermo del Toro, based on the classic 1818 novel by Mary Shelley. The plot is a faithful, yet visually distinctive, adaptation that begins near the novel's end in the Arctic before recounting the dark, tragic creation story. It follows Victor Frankenstein (Oscar Isaac), an arrogant, ambitious surgeon, who succeeds in his goal to create life but is immediately horrified by the monstrous being he creates, The Creature (Jacob Elordi). The narrative is a profound exploration of abandonment, responsibility, and what it truly means to be human, revolving around the tragic cycle of pursuit and vengeance between the creator and his creation. The film boasts a star-studded ensemble cast led by Oscar Isaac and Jacob Elordi, with support from Mia Goth (as Elizabeth Lavenza), Christoph Waltz (as Henrich Harlander), Charles Dance, and David Bradley (as the Blind Man). Critically, the film has been met with significant acclaim, debuting at the Venice Film Festival to glowing reviews. Critics praised del Toro's stunning visual style—a meticulous, baroque spectacle of gothic horror—and the heartbreakingly poignant performances by Isaac and Elordi, with many calling it a worthy and deeply moving adaptation that leans into the story's philosophical and romantic melodrama. Regarding box office, the film was primarily released as a Netflix Original. It had a limited theatrical run in select theaters, including IMAX, starting on October 17, 2025, primarily to qualify for awards and generate buzz. Due to this limited release window, the box office gross was low (reported around $480,000) and is not the measure of its commercial success.For streaming, the film was released globally as a Netflix Original on November 7, 2025, and is currently available to stream exclusively on Netflix as part of the standard subscription.
