Guillermo del Toro finally brings his lifelong passion project to the screen: a lavish, heartbreakingly beautiful Netflix retelling of Mary Shelley’s classic that spans Victor Frankenstein’s entire tragic life. With Oscar Isaac as the tormented creator, Jacob Elordi as the towering Creature, and a supporting cast including Mia Goth, Charles Dance and Lars Mikkelsen, this is the most faithful and emotionally devastating adaptation yet.We explore why the story of playing God still haunts us two centuries later, how del Toro fixes the flaws of every previous version (yes, even the 1931 Boris Karloff icon), where it boldly diverges from the novel for the better, and why this slow-burn, two-and-a-half-hour epic ultimately feels like the definitive Frankenstein for our age.Rogue Reviews is produced by Urban Podcasts.Recorded on the 21 November 2025 © Rogue Reviews.
