A surprisingly good one
Creature wasn’t frightening and the story lacked. Decent enough to see once but anything more than that is a stretch. Creature costume was out of the 50’s.
Fun little old-school monster movie.
Loved this movie! Just a really fun time watching it, great acting!
Really loved the acting from the main two characters. Their chemistry was awesome, they both had tangible character arcs, and they really stole the show. I was disappointed at how little the monster was in the show; There were really only two good action scenes with the monster. The monster has some tan on the underside of its neck, i assume to mimic the underside of a lizard, but it just ends up looking like human skin, making the suit look incendibly fake. I loved that the monster expressed a multitude of emotions and had a real personality. The ending also felt properly bookended. I can understand people not enjouing the low budget and the lack of action, but i feel the acting and writing makes this worth a watch for hardcore fans of horror filmmaking.
