About
You’ll likely enjoy this if you want a classic creature-on-the-loose romp with a surprisingly sympathetic monster and plenty of rampage fun; Not for you if you need deep characters or modern realism like The Blob.
Pros: memorable creature effects; brisk late momentum; fun retro thrills | Cons: thin human characters; uneven pacing early; dated dialogue
