Overview
- The film is now available globally on Netflix after a brief theatrical awards-qualifying run.
- Prosthetics lead Mike Hill says Jacob Elordi wore full-body applications about 20 times, with the production prioritizing practical makeup over heavy VFX.
- Oscar Isaac stars as Victor Frankenstein and Elordi plays the Creature, with Christoph Waltz introduced as new patron Henrich Harlander.
- Critical analysis highlights a reframing of Victor within a lineage of abusive fatherhood, heightening his ambition and cruelty compared with the novel.
- The Creature is portrayed as more eloquent and sympathetic, and the film retains the novel’s framing device while adding elements such as a Gothic water‑tower laboratory.
