Certain things that AI cannot create, Guillermo del Toro and Jacob Elordi can. Case in point: Frankenstein's breath-taking monster, a new look of which has just dropped online, gluing jaws to the floor. From Euphoria to Saltburn, millions of eyes have followed each of Jacob Elordi's metamorphoses, each prosthetic ridge, each twitch behind captivating eyes, and the razor-sharp jawline. And now the air is charged with thunderous applause for Frankenstein.  

The theatre of gothic horror swells with anticipation as a new glimpse at Elordi's The Creature surfaces. Fans on X have erupted with praise for the makeup, prosthetics, and aesthetics of the movie. Users inundated posts with wonder and joy, marveling over the one viral shot of Elordi's face covered with pale prosthetics, cuts, and stitches, his eyes hauntingly human under thick makeup. Most fans dubbed it an incredibly "poetic" line between scary and swoon-worthy. 

Guillermo del Toro's new monster has been unleashed into select theaters and will encroach onto Netflix on November 7, 2025. In his dream adaptation of Mary Shelley’s beloved Gothic novel Frankenstein; or, The Modern Prometheus, Oscar Isaac, Jacob Elordi, and Mia Goth take the lead on screens. The Creature played by Elordi is portrayed as a newborn, emotionally raw character tormented by his creation and his creator. And the internet is picking up on the multidimensional masterpiece.

Elordi's rendition of the Creature and the transformed appearance has become lightning in a bottle, both grotesque and achingly gorgeous, that fans cannot forget.

Jacob Elordi, covered in prosthetics, half monster, half myth, all foreboding enshrined in cinematic fear, has the internet collectively gasping for air. Some users on X are already calling Frankenstein a masterpiece of "practical horror," while others cannot take their eyes off Elordi. Several others agree that the Creature balances being terrifying yet beautiful at the same time.

Some fans are feeling safe as the new look is a massive potential spoiler for those who have not watched it in the theatres yet. Others noted the hours in makeup that the production team put into creating the impressive look. 

Guillermo del Toro's strictly human-made detailing and commitment did not go unnoticed, as fans lauded the multi-layered design, scars, and white translucent skin to portray something born out of tragedy. With its cinematic scope, gothic artistry, and depth of humanity, Frankenstein already feels like del Toro's long-hatched reverie realized.
