Jacob Elordi is shedding his heartthrob persona to play Victor Frankenstein’s monster. The Euphoria star is completely unrecognizable in the latest Frankenstein trailer, in which Oscar-winning director Guillermo del Toro brings Mary Shelley’s classic science fiction tale to life for Netflix.

The new trailer is moody and full of violent, macabre imagery. That includes Victor Frankenstein, played by Star Wars alum Oscar Isaac, building a human being — eyeballs and all. But it’s not only Victor’s story, his monster insists: “My maker told his tale. And I will tell mine,” Elordi says in the trailer.

The new film also features Mia Goth as Elizabeth Lavenza, a love interest of Isaac’s character, who is also engaged to his brother, William (Felix Kammerer). Of course, all that romantic stuff takes a bit of a back seat to Victor’s monster’s anger toward his master. “I demand a single grace from you,” the monster says to Victor in the trailer. “If you are not to award me love, then I will indulge in rage.”

Indulge in rage, the monster does. Toward the end of the trailer, he threatens his maker’s life with a stick of dynamite before finally revealing his corpse-like face to tell Victor to “Run.”

In a recent interview with the Wall Street Journal, Elordi discussed his preparation for his role. While he watched other interpretations of the character, including Boris Karloff’s iconic embodiment of the monster in the 1931 film, he said he got into the mind of the monster by creating a scrapbook filled with dark thoughts.

“If someone got murdered in my vicinity and they picked this book up, they’d probably just put me in jail,” he told the outlet, “just in case.”

Elordi is having a major year in terms of book adaptations. In addition to Frankenstein, the Saltburn star is set to portray the brooding Heathcliff in director Emerald Fennell’s adaptation of Wuthering Heights, opposite Margot Robbie. Next he’ll appear in the post-apocalyptic film The Dog Stars, based on Peter Heller’s 2012 novel.

Frankenstein heads to select theaters on Oct. 17 before being available on Netflix on Nov. 7.
