REVIEWS
“Follows the lead of pre-eminent monster movies like Jaws and Alien… an original and highly assured fusion of B-movie lore and fairy-tale terror.” - HOLLYWOOD REPORTER“Embellishes the candid, caught-on-video format to thrilling effect… Ovredal gives us the goods… You know the illusion is working when the characters walk into a big empty cave midway through the movie and the audience holds its collective breath.” - VARIETY“Rich and distinctive flavor… it always has another surprise up its sleeve… You never stop believing what you’re seeing.” - FANGORIA
