Oscar Watch: FRANKENSTEIN at the Gateway Film Center! **NEW DATE**

Join us as we get together to see the Godfather of Gothic horror Guillermo del Toro with his adaptation of Mary Shelley’s classic 1818 novel, FRANKENSTEIN! The stellar cast includes Oscar Isaac, Jacob Elordi, Mia Goth and Christoph Waltz. Here are details, a trailer and our plan for this event:

DESCRIPTION: 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. The film is written/directed by Guillermo del Toro and stars Oscar Isaac, Jacob Elordi, Mia Goth, Felix Kammerer, Lars Mikkelsen, David Bradley, Lauren Collins and Christoph Waltz.

BUZZ & ACCLAIM: While probably not a player the Acting, Directing, Picture, categories, this will likely be a major player in the technical categories (production design, cinematography, hair and makeup, costume design, etc.). Critics say, “Guillermo Del Toro’s Frankenstein is a “breathtaking” and “exhilarating” film as the writer-director “makes something almost new, and definitely rich and strange, out of a story we all thought we knew well.” The film is earning an 80% positive rating on Rotten Tomatoes, which says: “Finding the humanity in one of cinema's most iconic monsters, Guillermo Del Toro's Frankenstein is a lavish epic that gets its most invigorating volts from Jacob Elordi's standout performance.”
