Netflix has just unveiled a full-length trailer for the eagerly-awaited adaptation of the timeless Frankenstein novel.
The production features Oscar Isaac as Victor Frankenstein, a genius yet arrogant scientist who creates life through a horrific experiment.
Jacob Elordi delivers a standout performance in the preview as The Creature, with viewers rushing to YouTube’s comments to praise the film as « epic » and « monstrous ».
Nevertheless, fans have all expressed identical frustration regarding the release timing – having hoped for a Halloween debut given the horror genre.
Frankenstein will screen in selected cinemas on October 17, before arriving on Netflix on November 7.
@terrenceharris-hughes4436 commented: « Wish this was coming out Halloween. »
@BostonStonks posted on X, formerly Twitter: « Shoulda put it on Netflix before Halloween. »
@madmax18840 remarked: « Too funny this comes out AFTER Halloween. »
In contrast to the initial trailer, which presented Victor’s viewpoint, this new preview unfolds from the monster’s perspective.
The spine-chilling footage opens with the creature declaring: « My maker told his tale, and I will tell you mine. »
Enthusiasts have demanded a global cinema launch, expressing disappointment it will only appear in selected venues before Halloween.
One YouTube user declared: « We need a worldwide release on cinemas, this will be another Guillermo del Toro’s cinema masterpiece. »
Another simply insisted: « Release it on theatres world wide. »
Marq, a user on X, formerly known as Twitter, expressed his confusion ahead of the trailer’s release: « Why the f*** would Netflix release Frankenstein a week after Halloween? Makes no sense. »
Jef chimed in with similar sentiments: « The Oct 17 theatrical release of Frankenstein and then streaming Nov 7 makes no sense. Should be streaming before Halloween. »
Hype Engine also weighed in on the matter: « Why on earth would Netflix release a Frankenstein movie after Halloween? ? Better believe I’m gonna try to see it in theaters. »
Frankenstein is being shown in select cinemas on October 17, before being released on Netflix on November 7
