Total waste of time...

Rating: 1/10 (21 July 2018)

I've been looking forward to this movie for quite a while now and was extremely disappointed.
It would have been great as a short 10 minute prequel to a proper movie (which may be the sequel to this - last I heard a sequel was in the works). But as is at 90 minutes, which is pretty short these days it still felt like about 75 minutes too long.
The movie basically drops you in the middle of an already ongoing story. Apart from a few newspaper clippings on the wall it really doesn't tell you much as to who these people are, what the creatures are and so on. I guess it's up to you to figure that part out. That comes out as being lazy in my books as a storyteller.
It's almost entirely silent - dialog wise. Because of this and the very long dragged out scenes the movie just seems like it's even longer than it is.
There just isn't much going on. Very few things are explained. There are lots of plot holes or things that happen for no reason or scenes that simply go no where. Things finally get interesting at the end of the movie and then it just ends in the middle of a scene. That's why I said the movie just feels like a prequel where everything is explained in the second act and should have been 10 minutes long.
In my opinion, don't watch this and just wait for the sequel which I'm thinking is going to have a little bit more meat on its bone but I could be wrong, could just be more of the same.
