Films We’re Waiting For
Frankenstein - Written & Directed by Guillermo del Toro
Streaming on Netflix, November 7
Every artist eventually meets their creation and must live with what it reveals about them.
In Mary Shelley’s Frankenstein, that confrontation becomes literal: a brilliant, egotistical scientist gives life to a being that reflects everything he denied within himself.
Guillermo del Toro, an Oscar-winning director who turns monsters into mirrors now brings that legend to life. Starring Oscar Isaac, Jacob Elordi, Mia Goth, Felix Kammerer, Charles Dance, and Christoph Waltz, this adaptation looks less like horror and more like a confession of every creator who’s ever wrestled with their own ambition.
At Alpha Chromatica, we can’t wait to see how del Toro paints this gothic world not just in shadows and stitches, but in emotion. Because every artist, somewhere in their process, whispers the same question:
What happens when the work begins to look back at you?
