Get ready for the world’s newest terrifying creature. During its major Tudum event, Netflix unveiled the first teaser trailer for Guillermo del Toro’s latest cinematic venture, Frankenstein. The trailer offers a first look at Jacob Elordi’s portrayal of Frankenstein’s monster, a being that evokes fear but also makes mortality seem oddly acceptable.

Fortunately, this is balanced by the level of gore and grandeur that is characteristic of Del Toro’s work. The acclaimed director, known for films like The Shape of Water, Pan’s Labyrinth, Pacific Rim, Hellboy, has long been eager to put his own spin on Mary Shelley’s classic tale. With the help of Oscar Isaac, Christoph Waltz, and Mia Goth, he has finally brought his vision to life. Here is the first trailer for Frankenstein.

Although Frankenstein is a Netflix production and will be available on the platform, it’s a film that truly deserves to be experienced on the big screen. Guillermo del Toro’s films are meant to be seen in a theater, and Frankenstein appears to be no exception, boasting impressive sets, stunning visual effects, and meticulous costume and makeup design.

We’re also intrigued by the potential impact Frankenstein could have on the upcoming awards season. Given its talented cast and crew, it’s likely that Netflix expects the film to be a strong contender for major awards. Fans also have high expectations for the movie’s quality. While projects with such promise can sometimes fail to meet expectations, the trailer suggests that Frankenstein may indeed live up to its potential.

Frankenstein, directed by Guillermo del Toro and featuring Jacob Elordi, Oscar Isaac, Mia Goth, and Christoph Waltz, will be available on Netflix in November.
