Honestly one of the best monster movies I’ve ever seen, such an awesome design and so many awesome scenes. It might have a bit too much setup but I also really liked the plot and it kept my attention until the real action began and boy was it worth it.

Penelope Ann Miller looks incredibly Scully inspired here and this entire film feels like a scrapped X-Files episode

Truly some of the worst lighting I’ve ever seen in a movie which completely takes the experience away. This also wasn’t very interesting as a whole.
