Sharing the trailer, Netflix on Instagram wrote, "there are two sides to every story. FRANKENSTEIN, a film by guillermo del toro, starring oscar isaac, jacob elordi, mia goth, and christoph waltz, is coming to select theaters october 17 and on netflix november 7."

As per Variety, 'Frankenstein' is coming off a warm reception on the fall festival circuit. The epic-length adaptation of the seminal Mary Shelley novel premiered at Venice Film Festival before enjoying surprise screenings at Telluride Film Festival and another red carpet at the Toronto International Film Festival. At TIFF, the film came in as the runner-up for the fest's coveted people's choice award -- an accolade that's traditionally a key bellwether for the Oscar race.

Guillermo del Toro had been developing a "Frankenstein" adaptation for decades before Netflix ultimately issued a greenlight.

Oscar Isaac as Victor Frankenstein is perfect casting! The trailer visuals look stunning - that icy ship scene gave me chills. Can't wait to watch this on Netflix in November!

I hope they stay true to the philosophical depth of Mary Shelley's novel. The monster's perspective has always been more interesting than Victor's. Excited to see how del Toro handles this classic!

The production design looks absolutely breathtaking! That ballroom scene with the glittering chandeliers - pure del Toro magic. This might finally be the definitive Frankenstein adaptation we've been waiting for.

While I'm excited about the film, I hope they don't make it too Hollywood-style. The original novel has such profound themes about creation and responsibility that could get lost in spectacle. Fingers crossed!
