There are some good ideas here in this sci-fi horror/mystery but possibly too many, it builds a nice quiet small town feeling and gets a little confused. Solid performances, if a little cliched character wise, husband and wife cop and doctor and a pregnant woman. It could have been funny but the film makers didn't go that route and the film comes off as taking itself too seriously.The most sinister part are the encroaching hooded figures but they get neglected for a none to convincing beastie. Its fine for a late afternoon watch to maybe doze off to and not miss much.
Like This Watch These: The Thing (1982) A creature terrorizes its way through an Antarctic research facility, Slither (2006) A funny lighthearted but gross invasion of a small town, Tremors (1990) A small town under siege from underground worms and a young Kevin Bacon and his mates are gonna save it.
