Directed by Guillermo del Toro (Trailer Overview)

Oscar-winning filmmaker Guillermo del Toro is bringing his long-awaited adaptation of Mary Shelley’s Frankenstein to Netflix on November 7, with the film already playing in select theaters. The film reimagines the classic story of Victor Frankenstein, a brilliant yet arrogant scientist who creates a living being through an unorthodox experiment—an act that ultimately leads to tragedy for both the creator and his creation.

Del Toro is widely celebrated for his ability to craft emotional, visually striking, and deeply human monsters, and this project is one many fans have been anticipating for years. His signature blend of gothic atmosphere, meticulous practical design, and empathetic storytelling makes Frankenstein a perfect match for his artistic vision. As one of literature’s most iconic monsters, Frankenstein’s creature is expected to receive the kind of nuance and depth del Toro is known for.

Release Information:

• Streaming: Netflix on November 7
• Theatrical: Now showing in select theaters

If you’re a fan of classic horror, Gothic storytelling, or del Toro’s beautifully haunting creature designs, this is definitely one to look forward to.
