The opening scene was tense, heartbreaking, confusing, and shows the evil and disdain that humans can treat one another with which is scary in itself. The movie is all downhill from there. Perhaps if you watch this ironically, you might see the humour behind the horribly crafted creatures that show up later in the film, I did. However, it will remain one of the worst "horror" movies I have ever had the displeasure of sitting through.

This was much better than expected - edgy and powerful with excellent directing and acting. Please ignore the bad comments - this is definitely worth a watch… right to the bitter end :-) 7.5/10

What could have been an enjoyable horror comedy, perhaps on the same level as Evil Dead 2 or Malignant, but the film takes itself way too seriously to the point where I got uninvested watching it. The characters were atrociously written and got on my nerves. I can tell the filmmakers were trying to make this look visually interesting, but the strangest thing that stood out is that every outdoor scene looked like a sound stage rather than an outdoor environment. Maybe it was the lighting, but everything looked and felt so phony. The third act is where things get going. However, it is not worth sitting through this just for those few minutes.

“It’s a monkey” “It’s wearin’ feckin’ clothes” “Monkeys wear clothes in the circus” “You should be in a feckin’ circus!” First half is great when a couple employ the builders from hell. Second half goes a bit crazy with creatures from the woods. The hints of comedy work very well and make this enjoyable. The best horror of the year so far.
