FRANKENSTEIN (The Criterion Collection) 4K Ultra HD + Blu-ray | USA | Release Date: October 27, 2026 Factory-Sealed, Brand-New 4-Disc DigiPack Slipbox With Inner Print Includes The Reborn Cut, The Theatrical Cut, And Special Features — Free Shipping
Dr. Victor Frankenstein, a brilliant yet egotistical scientist, brings a creature to life in a monstrous experiment—setting in motion the undoing of both creator and creation.
In Guillermo del Toro’s spellbinding adaptation of Mary Shelley’s enduring classic, the tale gains new emotional depth and dazzling gothic grandeur. Told from the perspectives of Victor Frankenstein (Oscar Isaac) and the creature he fashions from flesh and then cruelly mistreats (Jacob Elordi), the film reframes the legend as a moving story of fathers and sons struggling to break free from cycles of trauma.
A decades-in-the-making triumph of darkly ravishing visuals and operatic storytelling, Frankenstein is a deeply personal work from a filmmaker long drawn to the place where men and monsters meet.
