Guillermo Del Toro‘s version of Frankenstein is streaming now, but what songs are on the soundtrack? Find out below.
The new adaptation of Mary Shelley’s 1818 gothic horror classic stars Oscar Isaac (Star Wars, Inside Llewyn Davis) as Baron Victor Frankenstein and Jacob Elordi (Saltburn, Priscilla) as the Creature.
Mia Goth, Christoph Waltz, Charles Dance and Ralph Ineson also star in the film, which Del Toro himself has adapted. It landed on Netflix on Friday (November 7).
It comes three years after Mexican auteur Del Toro brought to life an adaptation of another beloved fantasy novel, Pinocchio, while the director is best known for modern classics such as Pan’s Labyrinth, The Devil’s Backbone and the Oscar Best Picture winner The Shape Of Water.
Check out the trailer for Frankenstein here:
NME has awarded the film four stars and described it as “an achingly gorgeous film that allows [Del Toro’s] monster-loving sensibilities and signature style to come to the fore”.

The review continues: “On a technical level, Frankenstein is utterly stunning. Del Toro conjures eerie moments that will stay with you long after the credits have rolled, whether it’s a pair of arms bursting up from beneath the ice or Victor’s science experiment suddenly coming to life, giving the film its best jump scare. Tamara Deverell’s meticulously detailed production design looks gorgeous throughout, as are the costumes by Kate Hawley – both are certain to receive awards attention come Oscars season.”
“In short, this is a deliciously dark fairy tale that’s as fantastical as it is emotional. Is Del Toro’s Bride Of Frankenstein too much to hope for?”

The film includes an original score by the acclaimed composer Alexandre Desplat, known for his work on films such as The Grand Budapest Hotel, The King’s Speech, Little Women and The Imitation Game.
On top of that, there are some choice uses of other music in the film, with all of Del Toro’s choices being in keeping with the period setting of the story.
The pieces of music are:
Jonathan Scott – ‘Rondeau (Abedelazer)’ (written by Henry Purcell)
Johann Sebastian Bach – ‘The Well-Tempered Clavier, Book 1: Prelude And Fugue No. 17 in A Flat Major’
Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart – ‘String Quartet No. 4 in C Major: Allegro’
