Reaction: This one only narrowly managed to make a profit thanks to strong home video sales as the box office figures alone were not enough to put this one in the black. Perhaps the lack of marketing connection to The Creature series was an issue.


"I get that Tom Holland is a popular and likable young actor, but he did not impress me with his character or performance in this one. Thankfully the film around him had more interesting characters and an interesting vibe, with multiple creepy scenes." - Allen Poole, AV Club


"The film's connections to the overall The Creature series is not made clear until very late in the story, which feels like a mistake. The earlier parts of the film, which drag a bit, could have used a boost that reveal could have given." - Henry Stewart, Chicago Sun-Times

"Tail's connection to The Creature series was a surprise. The film worked pretty well without that connection thanks to a return to the big screen from Canadian director Vincenzo Natali and an intriguing performance from female lead, Daisy Ridley." - Sean Williamson, Toronto Star



Rated R for strong violence, language and some sexual content
