Legitimately funny in spots, if you can lean into the ridiculousness and darkness of it, but some people will just find this to be a brutal drama with a splash of horror. It's quite a thing. Awful, tense, rather sad, kind of funny ... how anyone made this movie is beyond me.
This is kind of a terrible movie, but it's also a pretty good time.
I want to love this movie. It does so much right, from the amazing photography, the excellent atmosphere, the pervading weirdness that grows throughout its procedural elements ... but it just never comes together. It's by no means a bad movie, but it could have been so much more. I enjoy ambiguity and the leaving of open questions, but there's so much of that here that by the end, one has to wonder why any of it needed to happen.…
So close, so far. Some gratuitous CG that doesn't work, but only in one particular spot, as I recall. An interesting juxtaposition of ideas and stylishly shot, though a bit confused as to what kind of film it really wants to be. The creature was very cool and gave the whole thing a bit of an aching sadness that's really the main thing that's stuck with me about the film, which I haven't watched in probably 15 years.
