Guillermo del Toro says his upcoming Frankenstein movie is not a horror film per se, despite being based on the classic gothic horror novel.
"Somebody asked me the other day, does it have really scary scenes?" del Toro said during a conversation at the Cannes Film Festival with composer Alexandre Desplat (via Variety). "For the first time, I considered that. It’s an emotional story for me. It’s as personal as anything. I’m asking a question about being a father, being a son… I’m not doing a horror movie – ever. I’m not trying to do that."
