Absolutely Fantastic
It's not great by any means, but it's a pretty good movie that didn't leave me filled with regret for investing time in it.
A lot of perfectly good film show their cards early, establish a unique premise and let the audience explore a topic at a leisurely pace, without much in terms of surprise. this film is not one of those films.
All of these films share one commonality, that being a kind of emotional center that humanizes a cast of monsters.
