The acting, the plot, all of that was much more than I expected going in. The two estranged brothers are actually rather stellar in portraying their fraught relationship. Honestly, I'd say the brother's relationship is the main selling feature of this film, not the monster, and that's probably where some of the let down is.
That, and the effects are probably the biggest weakness of this film, as they're actually rather shoddy, and yes, that does take points out of this review.
