Criterion Collection Competition – Win Guillermo del Toro’s Frankenstein and The Shout
A tour de force of psychic dread that begins as an ambient murmur and builds to an existential shriek, The Shout stars John Hurt, Susannah York and a seductively sinister Alan Bates. In a small English village, an experimental composer and his wife see their routine existence upended by the arrival of an enigmatic stranger who claims to possess knowledge of Aboriginal magic and the ability to kill using a deadly scream— this Cannes Film Festival award winner quivers with the primal fear of mysterious and uncontrollable forces.
Guillermo del Toro’s spellbinding take on one of the most enduring of all modern myths, Mary Shelley’s Frankenstein, imbues the classic tale with new depths of humanity while pushing it toward dazzling heights of gothic grandeur. Starring Oscar Isaac and Jacob Elordi, del Toro movingly reframes the legend as a story of fathers and sons struggling to break free from cycles of trauma. A decades-in-the-making triumph of darkly ravishing visual invention and operatic storytelling.
