Guillermo del Toro's adaptation of Mary Shelley's classic novel tops the DVD releases for the week of Oct. 27.

"Frankenstein": Released on Netflix last year, Oscar Isaac stars as mad genius Victor Frankenstein, with Jacob Elordi as Frankenstein’s monster and a supporting cast led by Mia Goth and Christoph Waltz.

"It was surely inevitable that Guillermo del Toro, that master of creatures and monsters and Gothic gorgeousness, would one day take on the greatest Gothic monster tale of them all: Mary Shelley’s horror story 'Frankenstein,' a classic conceived on a legendary rainy night around the fire more than two centuries ago, with its author still in her teens," writes Seattle Times arts critic Moira Macdonald in her review. "This 'Frankenstein' has no shortage of horrors, but it also finds notes of forgiveness and kindness; it’s a monster movie with a soul."
