It's alive! It's alive! Frankenstein has been in lots of movies, from the classics you know and love, to the amazing cult films you never knew about.

Netflix placed a pretty big bet when it gave director Guillermo del Toro $120 million to remake Frankenstein. The streamer even gave Frankenstein a limited theatrical release last month, which is something it rarely does.

Guillermo del Toro and Netflix have released their version of Frankenstein, starring Oscar Isaac and Jacob Elordi, which surpasses Universal's version in several ways.
