- Kevin Ward3d agoI really liked the relatively simple concept at play here and the movie for the most part works just fine. However, there’s a sort of poison pill lodged in the middle of this narrative and unfortunately that is Scoot Mcnairy’s character. Mild spoiler I suppose, but we’re supposed to buy into an eventual romance between Andrew Kaulder (McNairy) and Sam Wynden (Whitney Able). But I legitimately hated Kaulder and really felt like Wynden would have as well. He asks if he can come into her room after a night out, to which she says “no” in about 10 different ways in about the nicest ways possible, yet he continues to try and talk his way into her room. He lets up, but goes out and gets drunk and sleeps with a rando, lies to Sam about him having a kid, lies about his room not being ready. Irredeemable shit, in my opinion and it made the relationship aspect of the film uninteresting to me.
- MichaelMarch 15, 2025Not your typical monsters film. Little bit of sub text going on. But overall it was enjoyable. 3.5/5
