Overview

  • A circulating video shows the creature makeup being applied to Jacob Elordi over roughly 10 hours per day, according to the production.
  • Special-effects designer Mike Hill said call time was midnight and described the daily application and removal as exhausting.
  • Guillermo del Toro’s long-developed adaptation stars Jacob Elordi and Oscar Isaac, with the story framed around the creature’s humanity in line with Shelley’s themes.
  • Following its Venice premiere and a limited October theatrical run, the film began streaming globally on Netflix on Nov. 7.
  • Early coverage reports 85% on Rotten Tomatoes and a 78 Metacritic score, as Elordi’s late recasting and intensive butoh and throat-singing preparation draw added attention.
