"You could say that the ghost is played by the director, Steven Soderbergh, who serves as his own cinematographer, as usual, working under the pseudonym of Peter Andrews. That's Soderbergh holding the camera as it glides up and down the stairs, following the characters from room to room, and hovering over them as they try to figure out what's going on."
"In theaters; on Netflix Nov. 7. Guillermo del Toro has made several monster movies of a particular bent - soulful, swoony, feverish films about grotesque-looking creatures who prove themselves more deeply human than the humans who reject them. Which is why Frankenstein seems like the perfect match between story and muse; certainly del Toro's been talking about making his own version"
2025 delivers a diverse horror lineup that ranges from household hauntings to community-shock thrillers and auteur-driven monster retellings. One film centers on a classroom disappearance that leaves suspicion on a teacher and a community forced to survive an inexplicable trauma. Another film confines a ghost to a single house while the director's camera acts as a hovering presence, conveying empathy and warning through delicate movements. Guillermo del Toro continues to pursue monster stories that humanize grotesque creatures, and several releases span theatrical and streaming windows, including a noted Netflix date.
