Great Monster Movie
I'm not a big fan of the genre in general, but this one is great. They really showed just what they can do with the monster flick if they get some good actors and a good script. The old classics were always so corny, and maybe a little charming for that reason I admit. But this has all the charm of those classics and more.
It's got great acting and a great script. And the practical effects, the monsters, the suspense, and the camerawork are all great. The film has great pacing and a great tone, not too serious but just enough so. There are some good jokes and some great lines. Recommend.
