I've had a smile on my face the entire time watching it. It's the best Spider-Man movie of all time. I say this as someone who's been off the MCU hype train for quite a bit now. If it can reignite my interest in the genre, It's bound to give you a nerdgasm.

It's rare to see a monster movie that is not campy these days. Usually, they are pretty silly and over-the-top (which I do enjoy, by the way). Antlers, however, is a very serious, ugly, violent, and bleak creature feature. You don't see this for cheap thrills and getting spoopy. The cast was good, especially the child protagonist, Jeremy T. Thomas. He was very impressive as a young actor. Of course, the most important thing in a monster movie is, well...the monster design, and it was pretty damn good. I'd like to think I have a keen eye on spotting CGI vs practical effects, but I actually couldn't tell this when the monster was in the shot. Which means the effects are pretty damn good in my eyes. It's not perfect though. I think the film hydroplaned a little with establishing the plot, but it gained traction real quick. There's a couple other flaws, but I can't mention them without spoiling anything. Overall, Antlers is a very good horror movie!

This was my first time seeing Jason Mamoa as a protagonist. I was worried if I'd be able to find sympathy for him, but he was fantastic. It is definitely my favorite in the DC Universe so far. They did right with Wonder Woman, now this this another step in the right direction for DC. I think they finally realized that not every DC hero movie has to have that super-realistic, doom and gloom, Dark Knight tone. However, I felt it dragged a little in length. Some scenes didn't keep my attention, and I felt were a bit unnessesary.
