Guillermo del Toro's gothic feast for the eyes, Frankenstein, had to make the grade amongst his closest contemporaries before passing over the final cut to Netflix. A longtime passion project for the Oscar-winning Mexican filmmaker behind two Hellboy movies, this Mary Shelley adaptation cast Oscar Isaac as the scientist Victor Frankenstein and rising star Jacob Elordi as the Creature, while Christoph Waltz, Mia Goth, David Bradley, and Charles Dance fill supporting roles.
