The film's synopsis states: "A brilliant but egotistical scientist brings a creature to life in a monstrous experiment that ultimately leads to the undoing of both the creator and his tragic creation." Del Toro, who has previously named Frankenstein as his favourite book, spoke about adapting the story, saying: "The most important figure from English legacy is, incredibly, for me, a teenager by the name of Mary Shelley, and she has remained a figure as important in my life as if she were family.

Frankenstein will be released in select cinemas on 17th October and Netflix on 7th November.
