It was good other than the fact that everyone in this movie was a moron. SPOILER: they only needed to turn the light on in nearly every scene for it to not come near them…

Strong characters, weak storyline and stupid creature.

There are successful moments within, mostly thanks to Savage finding unique ways to frame scenes we’ve otherwise seen before.
