We are now less than one month away from the release of Guillermo del Toro’s Frankenstein, which first comes to select theaters October 17, with the Netflix premiere to follow on November 7, 2025. Netflix promises the brand new final trailer will release tomorrow, October 1, and in the meantime they’ve released a new official poster this morning.
Oscar Isaac (Dune) stars in Del Toro’s movie as mad scientist Victor Frankenstein, with Jacob Elordi (Saltburn) as Frankenstein’s monster, Mia Goth (MaXXXine) as Elizabeth Lavenza, and Christoph Waltz (Inglourious Basterds) as Dr. Pretorius.
The film follows brilliant but egotistical scientist Victor Frankenstein, who brings a creature to life in a monstrous experiment that ultimately leads to the undoing of both the creator and his tragic creation.
Meagan Navarro writes in her review for Bloody Disgusting, “Guillermo del Toro’s Frankenstein yields a sprawling emotional saga that’s impeccably crafted, but one that strips down much of the horror in a relatively faithful but overlong retelling that champions its empathetic Creature.”
“There’s no question that Frankenstein is absolutely breathtaking, with imagery and set pieces that instantly embed themselves in your memory,” Meagan’s review continues. “It showcases del Toro’s strength as a filmmaker, creating immersive worlds that enhance what he does best: championing monsters and their tragic humanity instead of using them to scare us. With Frankenstein, he delivers the most heartrending and soulful depiction of the Creature yet.”
