Frankenstein is a 2025 American science fiction gothic horror film produced, written, and directed by Guillermo del Toro, based on Frankenstein; or, The Modern Prometheus, the 1818 novel by Mary Shelley. The film stars Oscar Isaac as Victor Frankenstein and Jacob Elordi as the Creature, with Mia Goth and Christoph Waltz in supporting roles. The story follows the life of Frankenstein, an egotistical scientist whose experiment in creating new life results in dangerous consequences. Del Toro had long imagined a faithful Frankenstein film as a "dream project".
