Never saw this before, but when I saw that the talented Sean Harris, a fave actor from many other works was in it, I watched for him. He nails his role, makes you feel it - but the rest of the film feels more like a 70s-era movie than a 2004 one. Characters mostly doing silly, pointless running; idiotic decisions happening at every turn; emotions veering so wildly that they appear to be fake, etc. Several key plot points don’t make any logical sense at all. I know this is fantasy, but still…how did…??
IMO the better movie would have been the one we DIDN’T get - the backstory of the creature, which is just hinted at but not given. Now THAT would have gone somewhere! Oh, well.
