GDT's Frankenstein gets an R-rating for "bloody violence and grisly images"

Oscar Isaac in Frankenstein.

When venturing into Mary Shelley's beloved horror classic about man playing god, it's safe to say that things will get a little messy. It makes perfect sense, then, why the new Netflix adaptation of Frankenstein from Guillermo del Toro is receiving a hard R-rating due to the story being inevitably filled with blood, brutality, and body parts being stitched together in a questionable manner.

The incredible trailer for the upcoming movie was released last week and displayed del Toro at the top of his creature-feature-making game. All that was missing was hearing Oscar Isaac as this iteration's Victor Von Frankenstein proclaiming "it's alive" (the 'it' in this case being Jacob Elordi), and we'd be golden. Ah, well, you can't have everything, right?
