The film feels like something left behind in the 80s getting back from the dead to make its presence known.
Apparantly the director is not a good person and that fucking sucks.
With that said the film is a masterpiece in body horror and its great, fluid usage of comedic timing right when it hits you with the most gross and terrifying thing ever put to film.The cast is really good and I always give nicolas cage props but this cast did a great job allongside him.
The music is good but it sometimes reach a point of being to loud, it makes sense in the 3rd act but it still can get to a point where you wanna shut it off.The lighting is masterful, its usage of beautifull purple everywhere automatically give the film a great atmosphere.
Show shots do look very cheap but thats more so in the 3rd act because green screen was probably used.
The vfx when they use it overall is decent.(Also watch my newest film who killed him? on Letterboxd https://boxd.it/XnDi )

The Gardner family moves to a remote farmstead in rural New England to escape the hustle of the 21st century. They are busy adapting to their new life when a meteorite crashes into their front yard, melts into the earth, and infects both the land and the properties of space-time with a strange, otherworldly colour. To their horror, the family discovers this alien force is gradually mutating every life form that it touches—including them.
How It Feels
Read from this film's synopsis, keywords and credits, and used to work out what it sits beside.
A slow descent into cosmic dread as an unknowable extraterrestrial force methodically corrupts a family and their New England farm from the inside out. This is Lovecraftian horror that privileges atmosphere and inevitable doom over jump scares, a film that makes you feel watched by something fundamentally alien.
