Liz W I enjoyed this movie, especially Kevin Durand (who I think is an under valued & utilised actor). He carries the bulk of the film & manages to keep up the tempo, despite the plot not having a lot of true fast paced action or the tried & true gore factor that so many films rely on. Sure this is no academy award quality film & doesn't have top of the line CGI that other thriller monster movies have but considering it is a film that relies mostly on the reactions of the actors to build tension & anticipation they all did a good job. Nice to see Lukas Haas in the film too. Rated 3/5 Stars •  Rated 3 out of 5 stars 07/05/25 Full Review David L Not a perfect movie; has a few flaws but they aren’t glaring. This is a horror movie with some depth. Kevin Durand is excellent as a sheriff struggling with guilt and grief who has the responsibility of protecting his small town from a monster. There is a lot to like here. Well acted and well filmed. The flaws are in the script but again, I don’t think they are big enough to derail the enjoyment of a really good horror flick. And Nick DaMici (Stake Land) has minor role, too. Rated 3.5/5 Stars •  Rated 3.5 out of 5 stars 06/24/25 Full Review Ted B Three stars; a pretty good creature feature. We weren't allowed to see the creature until three-quarters of the movie was over. That built up the suspense, but it made the rest of the plot somewhat boring. The movie was about twenty minutes too long. However, it is the kind of movie that's fun to watch with the lights off late at night. Rated 3/5 Stars •  Rated 3 out of 5 stars 04/03/25 Full Review Jonah K It was shot in the dark: probably to hide the movie. An-hour into this 1hr 30 mins film we get to see a blurry photo of the "whatever it is," but the photo's even blurrier than the well-known blurry Bigfoot photo, otherwise, it's Durand slowly walking around crying or sulking😒 Wish I hadn't have opened my popcorn😏 Rated 0.5/5 Stars •  Rated 0.5 out of 5 stars 03/22/25 Full Review Calvin T Nothing was bad......really...Nothing at all ✌🏾 Rated 5/5 Stars •  Rated 5 out of 5 stars 01/22/25 Full Review Justin B What a disappointment. I can enjoy a moody slow burn creature feature all night long, but this was a tragically boring mess with absolutely no payoff. Predator did it right with the perfect balance of mystery and answers, alongside well-timed creature snippets that offered just enough to keep you going until the epic reveal. This kept building and building, with nothing to go on but a few shots of some scary feet, until the creature finally makes itself known in a fantastically underwhelming final act that was entirely toothless. When you do finally lay eyes on the monster, it's just a dumb, mushy CGI cluster foible that utterly dissatisfies. The acting was decent despite a terrible script, and all its tension building fell flat and went nowhere. I'm shocked that any critic or monster movie fan would think this was anything other than a complete disaster. Rated 1/5 Stars •  Rated 1 out of 5 stars 01/04/25 Full Review Read all reviews
