Guillermo Del Toro's Frankenstein trailer showcases a gothic and emotionally charged tone. The film focuses on tragedy and existential dread over horror, exploring the relationship between Frankenstein and his creation.

If you aren't looking forward to the latest adaptation of Mary Shelley's 1818 gothic novel Frankenstein; or, The Modern Prometheus, after seeing the trailer during Netflix Tudum Live 2025, then you must just not like the story.

While Frankenstein is admittedly an adaptation of a 200-year-old book, it still felt the most original offering in a roster of sequels and sequel-seasons, so of all eight releases teased it's the one that will sit high on my watchlist.
