Big Bad

About This Movie

So 'Big Bad' is this intriguing mix of fantasy and horror directed by Christopher Landon. It really dives into the unraveling dynamics of the Strauss family, where you can feel the tension simmering beneath the surface. Sam, the dad, is really grappling with his own frustrations, while Rachel's restlessness adds this layer of raw emotion. The kids? They’re chaotic, which just amplifies the sense of dread. The atmosphere is thick with unease, especially with the wolves lurking after that mudslide. Practical effects are used well to accentuate the horror elements without overdoing it. The pacing feels just right—slow burn that escalates to a crescendo. It's distinct in how it blends domestic strife with supernatural threats, giving a fresh twist to both genres.
