What kind of watch this is
Guillermo del Toro’s 2025 adaptation runs 150 minutes, a length that leaves room for the slow, deliberate horror of a creator and his creation destroying each other. The tagline, "Only monsters play God," sets the tone for a drama that treats its fantasy elements with a grim, realistic weight. Oscar Isaac plays Victor, while Jacob Elordi embodies the Creature, and Christoph Waltz appears as Harlander. It is a heavy, atmospheric piece that asks what happens when ambition outpaces empathy. The silence between the characters speaks louder than the dialogue.
What the critics said
Rotten Tomatoes reports 85% positive reviews, a figure Metacritic mirrors with a 78/100 Metascore. Both scores date to January 2026. The consensus leans heavily on Jacob Elordi’s performance. Alissa Wilkinson of The New York Times calls the film a "distinctly del Toro tale." David Rooney of The Hollywood Reporter sees it as "grand Romantic tragedy." Not everyone agreed. Peter Bradshaw of The Guardian gave it 3 stars, arguing the Victorian aesthetic sanitizes the horror. It is a lavish epic that finds humanity in a monster, provided you can stomach the period dress.
How it did with audiences
The $120 million budget suggests a studio that expected a blockbuster. The receipts are missing from the data, so we look to the critics instead. On TMDB, the user score stands at 7.6, which is decent but not electric. IMDb users gave it 7.7 out of 10 as of November 2025. Those numbers are close enough to suggest the movie did not fail, exactly. It likely found its audience in the dark.
What came next for the cast
Jacob Elordi’s credits show a shift from Euphoria and The Kissing Booth to Wuthering Heights and The Dog Stars. Mia Goth moves from Everest and A Cure for Wellness to The Odyssey. The timeline suggests a busy period, though the calendar does not explain the choices. Credits list what follows, not why.
