About
You might enjoy this if you like offbeat 1970s eco-horror with a pulpy monster angle, especially in the vein of Kingdom of the Spiders or Phase IV; Not for you if you want polished effects or fast pacing.
Pros: eerie wilderness setting; wild creature-feature energy; memorable monster attacks | Cons: slow first half; uneven tone; goofy effects at times
