In a win for physical disc collectors (suck it, Sony), Guillermo del Toro’s Frankenstein<\/em> is getting a gorgeous deluxe edition physical release this fall from the Criterion Collection. Better yet, it’ll arrive in time for you to add Frankenstein<\/em> to your Halloween movie marathon lineup.<\/p>\n

Before we discuss all the fancy shmancy special features, take a look at this gorgeous cover for the Criterion release from Denver Balbaboco:<\/p>\n

Glorious!<\/p>\n

Anyway, the Criterion edition of del Toro’s Frankenstein<\/em> will include the film itself, as well as a 158-minute (that’s 8 more minutes of footage) director’s cut titled Frankenstein: The Reborn Cut<\/em>; the making-of documentary The Anatomy Lesson: Director\u2019s Cut;<\/em> a collection interviews with cast and crew, and more. The four-disc 4K Blu-ray set will cost $59.95, the two-disc Blu-ray edition will cost $49.95, and the three-disc DVD version will be $29.95. All three editions are up for preorder at Criterion’s website, and they’re currently 20% off.<\/p>\n

The Criterion editions of Guillermo del Toro’s Frankenstein<\/em> will be released on Oct. 27.<\/p>\n

Despite Netflix often being reluctant to physically release its best work (Where are my Glass Onion<\/em> and Wake Up Dead Man<\/em> 4K discs at, Netflix?), the streamer has made exceptions for del Toro’s work. Pinocchio<\/em> also received a Criterion release in 2023. Netflix has extended the same courtesy to other directors, with physical Criterion releases for Martin Scorcese’s The Irishman<\/em>, Alfonso Cuar\u00f3n’s Roma<\/em>, Bong Joon-ho’s Okja<\/em>, and Jane Campion’s The Power of the Dog<\/em>. Criterion is also releasing KPop Demon Hunters<\/em> physically.<\/p>\n

Frankenstein<\/em> is a faithful retelling of Mary Shelley’s 1818 novel about a man, Victor Frankstein (Oscar Isaac), who brings a creature (Jacob Elordi) to life from a collection of stitched-together body parts. It premiered on Netflix on Nov. 7, 2025, after a limited theatrical run (suck it, Netflix). Viewers and critics alike have enjoyed it, and Frankenstein<\/em> currently sits with an 84% on Rotten Tomatoes. We enjoyed it, and especially the titular creation himself, saying “Elordi is by far the best thing about the movie” in our review.<\/p>\n

Frankenstein<\/em> isn’t the only spooky film Criterion is releasing in October: The Silence of the Lambs<\/em>, The Shout<\/em>, and more are getting Criterion releases in a few months’ time.<\/p>\n
