Guys, get ready for a real shock. Netflix has finally released the official trailer for Guillermo del Toro’s long-awaited «Frankenstein,» and it grabs your attention from the very first second. The biggest news? Jacob Elordi, known for «Euphoria,» is almost unrecognizable as the Monster. This isn’t just makeup—it’s a full-blown transformation. Every scar, every texture on his face and body creates a disturbingly realistic effect of a «stitched-together» creature.

Alongside him, Oscar Isaac plays Victor Frankenstein, the scientist obsessed with ambition and tormented by his inner demons. Del Toro promises that the film will stay as true as possible to Mary Shelley’s original novel, but with a modern perspective: this is not just «science gone wrong,» but a tragedy of the human spirit, the bitterness of loneliness, and the consequences of rejection.

The trailer is visually stunning: icy waters trapping a ship, a grand, glittering ball—the signature del Toro style is evident in every frame. And most importantly, the Monster speaks. His voice, his mind, his emotions—all of it emphasizes that this is not a silent monster, but a tragic character with intelligence and feelings. The creepiest moment comes when the creature says, «If you do not give me love, I will give myself over to rage.» Here, a conflict full of pain, power, and tragedy begins to emerge.

«Frankenstein» will premiere in limited theaters on October 17, 2025, and will be available on Netflix worldwide starting November 7. For fans of gothic stories, intellectual horror, and powerful performances, this is an event not to be missed.

Get ready, guys: Jacob Elordi and del Toro are turning the classic story on its head. And believe me, this Monster will make you reflect on humanity in a way no other film can.
