The movie, starring Oscar Isaac as the titular graverobbing scientist, will get a limited theatrical release in October ahead of a Netflix release in November. That\u2019s very soon. But aside from a few scant looks, we haven\u2019t seen Jacob Elordi\u2019s creature in full\u2026 UNTIL NOW! (Ha, I got your ass.) Netflix released a poster revealing the creature in the undead flesh.<\/p>\n<div class=\"relative\"><img alt=\"Official Look at Guillermo del Toro\u2019s FRANKENSTEIN Monster_1\" loading=\"lazy\" width=\"960\" height=\"1200\" decoding=\"async\" data-nimg=\"1\" class=\"rounded-lg\" style=\"color:transparent\" src=\"https:\/\/s.yimg.com\/ny\/api\/res\/1.2\/IGp5p.6hoB6nE4MDXAFDRg--\/YXBwaWQ9aGlnaGxhbmRlcjt3PTk2MDtoPTEyMDA7Y2Y9d2VicA--\/https:\/\/media.zenfs.com\/en\/nerdist_761\/7558d864440c8e48eda2b0a5f78412bf\"\/><span class=\"absolute bottom-0 right-0 rounded-full bg-white p-3 opacity-100 shadow-elevation-3 transition-opacity duration-300 group-hover:block group-hover:opacity-100 md:p-[17px] lg:bottom-6 lg:right-6 lg:bg-white\/90 lg:p-5 lg:opacity-0 lg:shadow-none\"><\/span><\/div>\n<p>Netflix<\/p>\n<p class=\"mb-4 text-lg md:leading-8 break-words\">The poster, which we <a rel=\"nofollow\" target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/gizmodo.com\/netflix-frankenstein-monster-first-look-jacob-elordi-2000665260\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\" data-ylk=\"slk:first saw at Gizmodo;elm:context_link;itc:0;sec:content-canvas\" class=\"link \">first saw at Gizmodo<\/a>, shows us Elordi\u2019s stringy hair, gaunt and pale visage, sunken eyes, and, for the first time, flesh-flayed hand. Pretty great stuff. It\u2019s pretty close to what Rory Kinnear\u2019s version of the creature looked like in Showtime\u2019s Penny Dreadful. I\u2019m not mad about it. Del Toro has said his version of the story will hew much closer to Mary Shelley\u2019s novel than any of the Universal classic movies. No flat top, no neck bolts.<\/p>\n<p class=\"mb-4 text-lg md:leading-8 break-words\">The movie premiered at the Cannes Film Festival earlier this year. Some people found the movie less scary than expected, to which del Toro had a response ready. \u201cSomebody asked me the other day, does it have really scary scenes?\u201d del Toro said at the Cannes Film Festival. \u201cFor the first time, I considered that. It\u2019s an emotional story for me. It\u2019s as personal as anything. I\u2019m asking a question about being a father, being a son\u2026 I\u2019m not doing a horror movie \u2014 ever, I\u2019m not trying to do that.\u201d<\/p>\n<p class=\"mb-4 text-lg md:leading-8 break-words\">We don\u2019t care!
