It really made me laugh, but for some moments I was tearing up because I could relate so much.

Unshakable, witty and deeply felt, the film will be paying emotional dividends for a long, long time.

The kind of movie that you yell at the screen because the actions of the characters are so dumb. Great idea - terrible execution

I just watched this on a whim on Amazon Prime. I thought it was just going to be another schlock monster movie with bad acting, bad script, bad everything. This was not only one of the best Horror Movies I've seen in a long time, but also one of the best films I've seen in a long time. I had to give it a 10 for my appreciation of the utmost talent involved here. From Direction, script, editing, and SUPERLATIVE acting. I actually cried at the end, and that is no mean feat. I rarely review any film on here, but this film is just special. Yeah it was an analogy, a metaphor, and we got an actor in a monster suit, but I remember the good old days. Crappy CGI would destroyed the effect, and have made it less poignant. I must say the little girl who played Lizzie is one of the best young actresses I've ever seen. But her mom was just as good. She traversed a wondrous arc between the lowest to highest range. I just loved this film. This is not a movie, it is a film. There's a difference. This one resonates. I'm looking forward to seeing so much more from all involved. Thank you from the bottom of my heart.

If you have problem about mother and daughter family drama, then i suggest you not to watch it. This is an extremely touching movie. Well combined with horror (not exactly horror its literally symbols..).Its not an horror movie.. its Gothic movie with a lot lot messages. Congrats to team for not making some psyhotic drama thing.

The relationship between the mother and her child is the number one priority here. So while this is a horror movie (mostly in the psychological area), it is also a Drama. And some of the best Horror movies (that are not Slashers or particularly explicitly violent) have been Dramas at heart too.And while I get that the child may seem annoying to some and some decisions made feel rushed, the casting was good and the script was decent enough giving them all something to play with (no pun intended). The movie is very dark (both in tone and in visual flair) and while it does drift into expected (read cliché territory) and has somewhat of a downfall towards the end (and maybe for some a slow beginning), overall the positive things do win over ...
