Only monsters play God! 

Oscar-winning director Guillermo del Toro adapts Mary Shelley’s classic tale of Victor Frankenstein, a brilliant but egotistical scientist who brings a creature to life in a monstrous experiment that ultimately leads to the undoing of both the creator and his tragic creation.

Be the first to see Frankenstein – starring Oscar Isaac, Jacob Elordi and Mia Goth – at one of our UPSTREAM screenings from 23 October. UPSTREAM is a series of titles screening in cinema two whole weeks before they land on Netflix, allowing you to watch before the rest of the world does.
