A Monstrous Side is Revealed in the New Trailer for ‘The Shape of Water’

By Sheryl Oh

“Son, unfuck this mess.”

Guillermo del Toro‘s The Shape of Water has amassed incredible reviews since premiering at the Venice Film Festival, even taking home the prestigious Golden Lion. What was already one of the most anticipated films of 2017 was then raved about yet again at Toronto International Film Festival. It just leaves us wanting more, more, more. Luckily, look no further than at the arrival of a new red band trailer!

Our own Meg Shields penned a gloriously moving tribute to loving amphibious fish-men and the wonderful escapism that comes with fantasy and fairy tales. Indeed, that sense of awe and mythicism can be spotted throughout a green band trailer that was released in July: it focuses on Sally Hawkins’ mute heroine Eliza, the mundanity of her life, and her utmost empathy for the misunderstood sea creature she desperately wants to protect.
