37 0

Guillermo del Toro, known for his beautiful and haunting films, is bringing Frankenstein to life in a brand-new way. Based on Mary Shelley’s classic novel, this upcoming movie already has fans buzzing after Netflix released its first teaser trailer. But many are upset that it will only be released on streaming, not in theaters.

A Stunning Trailer That Left Fans Amazed

At Netflix’s Tudum event, the first teaser trailer for Frankenstein was shown, and it immediately caught everyone’s attention. The gothic style, dark atmosphere, and powerful visuals reminded fans why Guillermo del Toro is one of the most beloved filmmakers today.

The movie features an all-star cast including Oscar Isaac, Jacob Elordi, Christoph Waltz, Mia Goth, and more. With so much talent and such a well-loved story, it’s no surprise fans are eager to see it on the big screen.

Fans Speak Out: “This Deserves a Theatrical Release”

As soon as the trailer dropped, fans rushed to social media to share their excitement—and frustration. Many were unhappy that such a big, artistic film is going straight to streaming on Netflix.

One fan wrote, “Guillermo del Toro is for theaters, not for Netflix. All that man makes is art. Release it in theaters!” Another said, “This deserves a wide theatrical release. I will be seated.”

Others pointed out how del Toro’s work always mixes beautiful horror with emotional stories. One fan shared, “If anyone can bring us a perfect Frankenstein movie, it’s definitely Guillermo. What do I expect from here? That unique horror style mixed with a deep and human story. Can’t wait!”

Some fans also said that watching such a film at home just doesn’t feel the same. “This deserves a theater release. Watching at home will never be the same, no matter how much you spend on a TV and sound system,” a comment read.

Another added, “Please release this in theaters! This deserves to be seen on a proper screen. I’m so pumped. Frankenstein is my favorite book ever!”

A Star-Studded Cast and A Dark Story

In the film, Jacob Elordi plays the role of Frankenstein’s monster. Other cast members include Mia Goth, Lars Mikkelsen, David Bradley, and Charles Dance.

The official story description reads: “A brilliant but egotistical scientist brings a creature to life in a monstrous experiment that ultimately leads to the undoing of both the creator and his tragic creation.”

With that powerful story and a director like del Toro behind it, fans believe this film should get the big screen treatment.

Will Netflix Change Its Mind?

So far, Netflix plans to release Frankenstein only on its streaming platform in November. But with so many people calling for a theatrical release, there’s hope the company might reconsider.

Whether it hits theaters or not, one thing is clear: Guillermo del Toro’s Frankenstein is shaping up to be one of the most talked-about movies of the year.
