This is GREAT. Good creature feature, minimized jump scares (and the ones there were meaningful/fairly predictable - it didn't require a super loud BANG with a fakeout clock or some bullshit), AMAZING younger acting (Alyla Browne is about 13 or so) and she carries the film - so rare for an actor of that age to do it. I am looking forward to what this young lady does in film going forward... God damn what a hell of a job. Usually a find kids annoying, but if a 13 year old can carry a movie... DAYUM.

Some great elements here of Alien, good isolation, fun film overall. This screams 90s B movies, and God bless them for making it. We need more of this and not the stupid paranormal shit we see 24/7 for the PG13 kiddies.

I'll give this a solid 7/10... I'm a bit biased because I love creature features but I couldn't help but love this movie for what it was.

Saw this last night and I agree with the above review. Slightly above average mainly because of the great cast; good special FX and the creature is top notch.

Did anyone watch Werewolves? I heard it was pretty bad. That said, there's WolfMan coming out in short order... I'm hoping that works out. I applaud the effort to give us more creature features and ditch the stupid ass Paranormal shit.

Has anyone ever used ScreamBox? I was thinking of getting it for a month so I can watch Terrifier 3.

Yea I tried it out over a year ago but cancelled after a few months of consuming most of everything they had, but honestly didn't feel it was worth it. I think I did it through Amazon Prime? But later found out you could get all of their in-house stuff for free with a library card. Most of their in-house stuff was pretty shallow, but unique. My way of being nice to B-horror type films lol. They had some old 70s-80s horror which was awesome, so it was ok to supplement other streaming services with and I was growing tired of waiting for AMC/Shudder to put out new material. Loved that it was ad-free too but not sure if it still is.

Honestly kinda feels like these occasional big exclusive draws like Terrifier 2 & 3, are the only things keeping Screambox alive.

Lookin forward to Wolfman. Just saw the trailer over the weekend. Wish jakedog was still around because I know he would be runnin an ad-campaign in here for it.

Watched Elevation (2024) over the weekend. I thought it had some good potential and served ok as an alien-invasion thriller. Basically a lower-tier ripoff of A Quiet Place. But I think they missed the mark on the suspense element. The only water it held in that department was the fleeing moments. They really talked up these creatures as apex predators but they really didn't create much fear. Not really sure how it missed that mark, but if the suspense element was kicked up a notch it would have been way better.

The story had some unique elements to it. Liked the elevation aspect, which sported some really cool cinematography. It was something new in comparison to most invasion type movies. But overall it was sorta half-cooked & rushed. Only 90 minute runtime. And I didn't care for the big reveal at the end. It was worth the watch, but don't expect much.
