Wow - this sets the bar for horror

Rating: 10/10 (7 April 2018)

I saw the trailer and thought ho-hum. I read the reviews and decided to see it. Not disappointed! My wife (not a horror genre fan) and I loved it right up to the last scene. Without giving away too much the film begins in a post-apocalypse world. The enemy (and conqueror?) is some kind of spider/alien - I could never pin that down which is fine. The creatures are attracted to loud sounds and their attention is lethal. The use of CGI is the best I have ever seen. I would compare the CGI to the Deep Blue Sea from 1999 in that it is used sparingly in a peek-a-boo style until the denouement. It is less dependent on the creature's full appearance and more on a very skillful building of suspense. The suspense begins mounting in the very first scene and continues to the last scene. What I am trying to say is that the creature(s) develop a kind of personality defined by their behavior and integrate well with the other characters. The long and short - see it! preferably in a theater which I think takes best advantage of the atmosphere created. Enjoy.
