About
You’ll likely enjoy this if you want a serious, small-town creature mystery that builds tension more than gore, with a wintry, ominous mood; Not for you if you need fast action or big scares like Night Teeth.
Pros: moody slow-burn tension; strong lead performances; creepy creature mystery | Cons: uneven creature effects; heavy color tinting; thin female roles
