Netflix has unveiled the first teaser for Frankenstein, Guillermo del Toro’s long-anticipated passion project—and it is as visually ravishing as it is emotionally unsettling. Starring Jacob Elordi as the Creature, Oscar Isaac as Victor Frankenstein, and Mia Goth in a pivotal role, the teaser drips with del Toro’s signature macabre elegance. There are no jump scares here, only a slow, melancholic unraveling—a tale steeped in fog, flickering candlelight, and the agony of creation. In just over a minute, the teaser conjures a sense of poetic terror, framing Frankenstein’s monster not as a villain, but as a tragic figure trapped between life and death. A meditation on isolation, parental failure, and godlike ambition, Frankenstein promises to be a harrowing, humane addition to del Toro’s gothic canon. The film is expected to arrive on Netflix in 2025.
