Our Take On The Frankenstein Footage

Guillermo Del Toro Is Taking A Classical Aesthetic Approach

The first footage, combined with the first-look image of Oscar Isaac’s Victor, offers an exciting glimpse into Guillermo del Toro’s aesthetic approach to Frankenstein. The director appears to be embracing a classical and almost gothic visual style that honors the original tone of Mary Shelley’s novel, with dramatic lighting and an emphasis on mood and character. This stylistic direction suggests that del Toro’s adaptation will lean heavily into the tale’s timeless horror and tragic beauty, rather than modernizing it, promising a faithful take on the iconic story of Frankenstein.
