Men är Jacob Elordis monster lite väl sexig ibland?

I otroligt snygga ”Frankenstein” bygger Guillermo del Toro en överdådig, gotisk fantasyvärld där till och med döden är vacker. Det är underbart fluff – för stunden.

Den mustiga monstersagan ”Frankenstein” med Oscar Isaac och Jacob Elordi i huvudrollerna ser ut precis som man förväntar sig filmens skräckromantiska häxmästare. Men Sebastian Lindvall är ändå besviken.

VENEDIG 2025. Guillermo del Toro tar Mary Shelleys klassiker ”Frankenstein” och förvandlar den till en intensiv och visuellt bedövande film. Historien om monstret som helst bara vill vara människa är en olycksbådande, men också oerhört berörande upplevelse.

Roger Ebert
Guillermo Del Toro’s “Frankenstein” is a breathtaking coup, an exhilarating riposte to the conventional wisdom about dream projects. The writer-director makes something almost new, and definitely rich and strange, out of a story we all thought we knew well.

Flickering Myth
Guillermo del Toro’s Frankenstein is a thing of monstrous beauty. It feels like a film born from the dust drenched pages of an early edition of Mary Shelley’s classic novel that has been locked away from the world and only just discovered.

Variety
What should have been the perfect pairing of artist and material yields ravishing costumes and sets, but can’t measure up to fans' expectations.

Wikipedia
"Finding the humanity in one of cinema's most iconic monsters, Guillermo Del Toro's Frankenstein is a lavish epic that gets its most invigorating volts from Jacob Elordi's standout performance."

The Guardian
The visual style of the movie is utterly distinctive and unmistakably that of Del Toro: a series of lovely, intricate images, filigreed with infinitesimally exact cod-period detail ... but which for me impedes the energy of horror.

CBR
"Frankenstein is one of the best movies of 2025 and a near-perfect adaptation of the novel; hopefully, audiences witness and feel the power the movie has, whether they're seeing it at home or in theaters."

The Hollywood Reporter
One of del Toro’s finest, this is epic-scale storytelling of uncommon beauty, feeling and artistry. While Netflix is giving this visual feast just a three-week theatrical run ahead of its streaming debut, it begs to be experienced on the big screen.

Winter is Coming
Because this movie came from GuilIermo del Toro, I expected gorgeous costumes and rich gothic settings. I was not disappointed. The director's eye for inserting creepy visuals was a delight to see.
