Don’t let that 2 Hr. 40Min run time put you off – I was locked in!


Try to avoid the trailer if possible. I honestly forgot a few scenes from the trailer, but it’s crazy how much of the end they show in it. Regardless, the journey through is honestly so insane! My friend and I were locked in. She even mentioned being scared :p.

What’s this movie even about? Imagine Attack on Titan before the safety of the walls went up. A small harbor town has something insane going on when individuals unite to combat the unknown. Following two storylines, one follows the police chief while the other follows a group of hunters. They’ve found cattle that’s been mauled by something…a tiger maybe?

Lock in and enjoy some insane action as the story unfolds. Super epic suspense and all-out WHO’S GOING TO MAKE IT! Unless you have plot armor….. Yea two glaring items kept this in the 8’s rather than a 9. The CGI on the monsters along with Plot Armor.

Alas, it’s an awesome watch and totally recommend with a Popped score of 8.5/10 – Stay watching for the extra scene prior to the credit crawl. What could it mean O.o???


With that, fellow movie-goers, we’ve caught up on this week’s batch of “reviews”. Next week I’ll have Shaun the Sheep & Resident Evil. Possibly, depending on time: The Weight & Bad Apples. Closing out the month with Forgotten Island and Avengers Endgame: Encore.

As we head fully into the fall season with October, what horror movies are you excited for? What movies yet to come in September are you excited to catch up on / see? Let me know in the comments below!

Until next time, happy movie- going!
