Predicting The Endings To The Fall's Biggest Movies

1. The Creature Gives Eliza The Ability To Speak - The Shape Of Water

The Ending: Probably in its dying moments, the creature gives mute protagonist Eliza the ability to speak.

This being a dark fantasy from Guillermo del Toro, it seems pretty likely that the amphibious creature will end up dead before film's end, but not before using its mysterious powers to grant Eliza the ability to talk.

If Sally Hawkins spends the entire movie without saying a single word and the final scene features her speaking for the first time, it could be an extremely powerful moment, one that cements the bond her and the creature share.

The film has received rave reviews since its recent premiere at the Venice Film Festival, so whatever happens, it seems like it's absolutely spellbinding.
