Guillermo del Toro's 'Frankenstein' Comes to Life on Rotten Tomatoes

Guillermo del Toro’s long-awaited Frankenstein has finally made its debut at the Venice International Film Festival, and the first critical verdict is in. The film currently holds a 79% approval rating on Rotten Tomatoes, based on 19 reviews, which reflects an early consensus that praises its ambition, atmosphere, and faithful embrace of Mary Shelley’s Gothic horror roots. While still in its early days of critical evaluation, this score positions the film as a strong, if polarizing, entry in del Toro’s career. The trailer already suggests that audiences can expect a strong punch of immersive visuals and emotionally heavy storytelling.
