Great creature design, but that's about it.
I could gush about this creature design. It's the most unique and creepy horror monster I've seen in years. The way it looks like a creepy smiling face when shadowed in darkness, the way it elongates its body unnaturally is so memorable.
Unfortunately, that's all this movie has got going for it. The story and characters are super generic and vague, we come to learn nothing about this world, the characters, or even these creatures by the end of it. And despite the great design, the monsters are very under-powered. It's so easy to kill or capture one of these things its a joke, it doesn't feel like there's any real stakes.
I just can't help but come out of this movie wondering what it was all for. A real waste of potential.
