Guillermo del Toro's Frankenstein in 4K Drops to a New Low Price in The Criterion Collection Sale

Guillermo del Toro's take on Frankenstein was a long time coming. The director had been open about his interest in the infamous monster since he was still knee-deep in the Hellboy franchise. When del Toro's Frankenstein finally came out, IGN gave the movie a glowing 9 out of 10 review .

You can watch it anytime on Netflix, but it's too good of a movie to stay on streaming forever. Thankfully, Frankenstein joined the Criterion Collection this past October. It's only been out for a couple of weeks, but thanks to Criterion's big November sale , you can already get Frankenstein's Criterion edition for 50% off from now until December 7.
