As to the story, the only thing that bothered me:

That scene where Daniel was confronted in the shed was incredible, though.

I have a code for this if anyone wants it.

I'll take it. Wanted to see this back in October but couldn't. DM me.

I'm always on the lookout for the next great Creature Feature- this wasn't it.

pEgLeG · 01-25-2022, 06:41 PM

Finally saw this the other night. I was pretty disappointed. The movie wasn't anywhere near as good as the trailer made it look. 1 star.

Ok but why did they begin with her on the toilet? What was that supposed to symbolize? It was just so awkward.

cgpublic · 01-29-2022, 01:02 AM

Screened this on iTunes in 4K DV. Hot take is a the film would have been better with Jesse Plemons as the lead, Russell as a secondary/co-lead, a bit more of the Native American influence to balance the degradation/abuse of the environment/society. That and a little more inventiveness and polish to the dialogue along with improved pacing towards the third act would have gone a long way to bumping this up to four stars.

Performances were solid, technicals, including the monster design, were excellent.

A worthwhile Wendigo watch but left wanting a bit better.

I believe it was a harbinger for the shitty ending that took place in the movie.

Rory Cochrane was really wasted in this, he hardly had any lines. As Plemons senior by 16 years it seemed like he should have been the sheriff rather than Plemons.

supersix4 · 02-15-2022, 12:45 AM

Really solid movie wish it had 4k steel book

Magicman38 · 02-16-2022, 03:29 AM

Watched it tonight. Found it pretty boring and predictable. Kerri Russell and Jessie Plemons did the best they could but it wasn’t enough to save it for me.

An4h0ny · 02-16-2022, 01:42 PM

Finally got to watch this. Dang.

The trailer is SO good.

Russell & Plemons looked bored with this. But to be fair, looking bored is kind of Jesse's whole acting style.

But the rest of the actors were great. Especially the kid who played Lucas and the guy who played the dad. How The hell they got Graham Greene I don't know but he should have been the sheriff.

The whole subtext about the dad and her leaving... it was just kind of a mess. Plus the whole trope of "Hey, we're in a meth lab inside an underground cave and we just heard an unearthly terrifying noise. Let's walk towards it as the light fades to investigate. With no weapons. With no plan." It's just lazy writing.

But great special effects, incredible cinematography, good score... it's a very well made film technically. But it's just boring.

Wouldn't even file this under horror. More like a Drama with some horror overtones.

2/5.

Opinions vary

An4h0ny · 02-16-2022, 11:06 PM

Imo

It was about 7.5% formulaic horror.

A better similar film is The Ritual

redxrebellion · 02-17-2022, 12:42 AM

Watched this 2 night ago. I mostly liked it and agree that it’s not completely a horror movie. Had great atmosphere and production values. The only thing that kinda bothered me was

LanceL · 07-09-2023, 07:45 AM

I remember kind of enjoying it. But was a little let down. I'll have to give it another watch to make sure.

djgeneral · 09-24-2024, 03:04 AM

After pushing this year for 3 years, I finally watched it tonight. It was fairly decent. It looked great. Keri is always great to watch anyway. Overall decent flick with some good scares and gore. Not sure if I would revisit it again since there are so many films to watch this time of year but it was solid
