Frankenstein trailer leaves fans all saying the same thing as Netflix unveils 'epic' adaptation

Oscar-winning director Guillermo del Toro has adapted Mary Shelley’s classic tale.

Netflix has just released a full-length trailer for the highly-anticipated adaptation of the classic Frankenstein novel.

The film stars Oscar Isaac as Victor Frankenstein, a brilliant but egotistical scientist who brings a creature to life in a monstrous experiment.

Jacob Elordi also shines in the trailer as The Creature, with fans flocking to the YouTube comments section to hail the film "epic" and "monstrous".

However, they have all said the same thing when it comes to the release date - as they had hoped for a Halloween release given the film's genre.

Frankenstein is being shown in select cinemas on October 17, before being released on Netflix on November 7.

@BostonStonks said on X, formerly Twitter: "Shoulda put it on Netflix before Halloween."

@madmax18840 added: "Too funny this comes out AFTER Halloween."

Unlike the first trailer, which was told from Victor's perspective, the new trailer is told from the perspective of the monster.

The eerie new video begins with the monster saying: "My maker told his tale, and I will tell you mine."

Fans have called for a worldwide cinema release, frustrated it will only be shared in select cinemas before Halloween.

One said on YouTube: "We need a worldwide release on cinemas, this will be another Guillermo del Toro's cinema masterpiece."

Another simply demanded: "Release it on theatres world wide."

Taking to X, formerly Twitter ahead of the trailer's release Marq had also shared: "Why the f*** would Netflix release Frankenstein a week after Halloween? Makes no sense."

Jef added: "The Oct 17 theatrical release of Frankenstein and then streaming Nov 7 makes no sense. Should be streaming before Halloween."

Hype Engine penned: "Why on earth would Netflix release a Frankenstein movie after Halloween?? Better believe I’m gonna try to see it in theaters."
