Guillermo del Toro revealed at Cannes that his upcoming film Frankenstein will not be a horror movie.
Del Toro's career has often blended horror elements with gothic fantasies and dark fairy tales rather than traditional horror.
His films like Pan's Labyrinth and The Shape of Water explore themes of fantasy, romance, and embracing the Other, deviating from typical horror genres.
Frankenstein will focus on the emotional aspect of the relationship between Victor Frankenstein and his creation, reflecting del Toro's inclination towards emotional storytelling.
