The pacing is interesting—slow at times, but it builds tension effectively. The lead’s performance is raw, embodying the trauma and physicality that makes his character stand out. There’s a tangible atmosphere created by the practical effects, which is refreshing in an age of CGI overload. The whole narrative weaves in themes of identity and confronting the unknown, making it more than just a creature feature. It’s got that moody vibe that lingers long after the credits roll.
