Woulda gave it an 8 if it 8 the whole family

The amphibian version of xenomorph, and characters that have death wish.

It was just ok. It has a predictable twist. The acting was ok. The atmosphere was a bit creepy. Other than that not much to write home about. Seemed like just another horror creature movie.

First, let me state that this film beat my expectations going in. They were low though. This film took 30 minutes before any real tension and about half the film’s length for the first major event to occur. In attempt to maintain the viewer’s attention the soundtrack and special effects teams had to pull a lot of heavy lifting with soundtrack tension and cheap shadow tricks. The characters are strong, acting was good, general plot was typical, camera work was good, lighting, decor, costuming, creative modeling, creature effects and more were really good. Many artists deserve praise for their effort and skills, but there were some questionable decisions in screenplay writing that had me declaring “you’re an idiot and deserve your fate” at several of the characters. Overall it was an above average creature feature. Unless you really enjoy a slow burn drama, good luck getting through the first half.
