Reaction: Not necessarily a hit, but a solid success for the studio. The Mutation grossed slightly more at the box office ($115,000,016) as writer Ben Collins' other sea creature films, The Creature ($93,664,777) and The Creature: The Beginning ($112,794,437).
"While the film's backstory and set-up come across as highly generic, the film is saved from disaster by the lead performances of Magnussen, de Armas and Pearce." - Jeremy Raren, RottenTomatoes.com
"The Mutation is Billy Magnussen's first test as a leading man outside of the Booster Gold series. For the most part he passes. He brings charisma and confidence to his part, and has strong chemistry with both of his female co-stars." - Adam Carpenter, St. Louis Post-Disbatch
"A continuation of both director Guillermo del Toro and writer Ben Collins' seeming obsession with sea creatures, you can't help but compare this film with their other entries in the genre. Unfortunately, The Mutation comes up slightly short when compared to The Shape of Water and The Creature series." - Gillian Donaldson, Variety
