THE GOOD

Great blend of horror, action, comedy. But comedy in the sense of THE jokes one makes to mask incredible unease. Love the Lovecraftian vibes. Acting is good - Kristen Stewart and Vincent Cassel anchor the story. And the end... my god. My deep sea, tentacled god.

THE BAD

Starts and ends strong. Middle drags slightly. Plods along, buying time to get to that ending. At times lighting too dark and chaotic. Would lose track of where we're at and what we're doing.

THE DOWNRIGHT CAMPY

When Stewart is swallowed and has to blast her way out of the creature. TJ Miller's entire character.

Overall great. A solid, well-executed monster movie that delivers the thrills, chills and gills.
