Netflix Unleashes Fab Frankenstein

Netflix today released new images of its fabulous-looking Frankenstein movie, which premieres in November.

Written and directed by Guillermo del Toro, it stars Oscar Isaac, Jacob Elordi, Mia Goth, Lars Mikkelsen, Charles Dance and Christoph Waltz. Reads the logline:

Oscar-winning director Guillermo del Toro adapts Mary Shelley’s classic tale of Victor Frankenstein, a brilliant but egotistical scientist who brings a creature to life in a monstrous experiment that ultimately leads to the undoing of both the creator and his tragic creation.

“Exploring the relationship between humanity and monsters, creator and creation, father and son has consumed my stories again and again,” del Toro said on stage at Tudum 2025 when revealing the teaser trailer.

“I wanted to make this film before even I had a camera, and I’ve been actively pursuing it now for 25 years.”

Notes Netflix of the trailer: Fans of del Toro’s work will note plenty of familiar imagery in the new teaser, from Isaac’s Victor standing on a decaying staircase holding a candelabra (see: Crimson Peak) to a blood-red angelic figure surrounded in flames (see: the Angel of Death in Hellboy II: The Golden Army, the blue Wood Sprite and the sphinxlike Death in Pinocchio, and even the Faun in Pan’s Labyrinth).
