Reviews

WasAnnon Slow pace in the most part of the movie.
Mjeteconer Just perfect...
TrueHello Fun premise, good actors, bad writing. This film seemed to have potential at the beginning but it quickly devolves into a trite action film. Ultimately it's very boring.
Philippa All of these films share one commonality, that being a kind of emotional center that humanizes a cast of monsters.
