Did not expect to like this film but here I am! Overall I felt this was an unexpectedly decent, cool creature monster movie with a decent family plot story on the side.
My favorite parts and overall summary:
-Awesome cinematography and camera shots and camera movements. I was impressed by how immersed I felt at times. This didn't just happen once or twice but multiple times throughout the film.
-Characters! This is something you'll be surprised some horror movies don't put effort in. But this film had the characters and you can tell there was care by the writers into the characters. Character building, character development, and ultimately character caring, in where you do care for the characters as the film goes.
-The plot: is actually engaging and it was not a slow burner film like tens of other horror films I've seen in the years 2022-2024 and been put to boredom to.
Some cons I would say are some humorous moments felt out of place at just a few times, but luckily this film wasn't riddled with them. Also this film overall isn't a jump scare film, which I appreciated, but the 1-2 attempts they did try could have been better and more effective. A last con I'd add is that some certain elements of the ending felt contrived.
Anyways, overall I surprisingly really liked this film! I felt it was well-made. It's my favorite gem so far this year. And I'm actually convinced to get a pet spider for my new apartment now.
