In a win for physical disc collectors (suck it, Sony<\/a>), Guillermo del Toro’s Frankenstein<\/a> 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 to your Halloween movie<\/a> 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<\/a>:<\/p>\n

Glorious!<\/p>\n

Anyway, the Criterion edition of del Toro’s Frankenstein 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; the making-of documentary The Anatomy Lesson: Director\u2019s Cut; 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<\/a>, and they’re currently 20% off.<\/p>\n

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

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

Frankenstein 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<\/a>). Viewers and critics alike have enjoyed it, and Frankenstein currently sits with an 84% on Rotten Tomatoes<\/a>. We enjoyed it, and especially the titular creation himself, saying “Elordi is by far the best thing about the movie” in our review<\/a>.<\/p>\n

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