Believe it or not, a 1st time watch!
Good little monster movie. Great sound design and some adequately gross visuals. (Bit of a head scratching solution though.)

How It Feels
Read from this film's synopsis, keywords and credits, and used to work out what it sits beside.
A deliberately paced Cold War-era creature feature that builds dread through suspicion and small-town paranoia before delivering its memorable practical-effects twist. The film trades gore for genuine creepiness, examining how unchecked scientific ambition and institutional negligence breed monsters.
