What’s with all the stuff with a ship in the Arctic? Well, you probably forgot that in the novel, the entire story is framed that way, with Dr. Frankenstein telling this story while trying to capture the creature. Clearly, by focusing on this all-important element of the book, del Toro is set to deliver a Frankenstein like no other version we’ve seen before.

And yes, the monster is supposed to talk, not just grunt. The whole point of the book was that the creature speaks and has a very specific relationship with its creator.

The film also stars Mia Goth as Victor’s fiancée, Elizabeth, as well as Christoph Waltz as Dr. Pretorious.
