Thomas) whose dark secrets lead to terrifying encounters with a legendary ancestral creature who came before them. It’s based on the short story “The Quiet Boy” by Nick Antosca and produced by Guillermo del Toro, David S. Goyer, and J. Miles Dale. In describing the creature, del Toro explained that producers used a mix of digital and practical effects. “We’re not creating a monster, we’re creating a god,” del Toro said. “So the design needs to have elements that are completely unnatural, that are almost surreal or abstract.” Although the film’s April 2020 release was originally delayed due to coronavirus concerns, it’s now scheduled to open on February 19, 2021. Moderated by Collider’s editor-in-chief, Steven Weintraub, the panel revealed a brand-new featurette, which showed some frightening footage.”
