Director and co-writer J.D. Dillard (“Sleight”) delivers a smart, streamlined thriller that skillfully integrates a careful whisper of social commentary into a story that also unfolds masterfully as a straightforward genre workout.
A cracking little one-hander (mostly) that rations glimpses of its well-designed beastie expertly, the picture will please genre fans who don’t mind long stretches with no dialogue.

Simple, but good premise. If the 'monster' had a more convincing look and was less campy, this movie would have been a lot better. The lead, Kiersey, did a good job.
Report
Clemons does a fantastic job of making tense moments very believable.
What this potent micro-dose of a movie lacks in showmanship, it makes up for in purity and resourcefulness and a rugged performance from Kiersey Clemons that might feel revelatory if the “Hearts Beat Loud” actress weren’t always this commanding.
It’s good of its type — just not quite good enough to linger once the lights have come up.
Director Dillard & Co. had a promising minimalist horror pitch, but blew it in execution.
Like many other reviews I think this movie had potential but fell far short of being a good movie. My biggest complaint is that I found most of the night scenes unwatchable. They are so dark along with the frantic camera movement you have no idea what is going on. So the scenes that are suppose to be scary just confusing. The lead did a halfway descent job but over all the movie as a whole is just one note monster movie. Definitely give it a pass not worth the tie wasted to watch it.
