If you want a creature feature with a simple premise and a fast pace, you can do a lot worse than this. For what is clearly a very small production, the creature design is cool and the gore effects work well-when you are able to get a look at them. Unfortunately, shaky cam and some poor editing do crop up at times; particularly in one moment early on when a character dies but the editing is so frenetic that it's impossible to actually tell what happened to them. The dialogue awkwardly tries to fill in some gaps by telling us what happened without properly showing it, but it doesn't really work. It isn't that bad all the time, but when the shaky cam hits it hits pretty hard.
Still, this is overall a better written film than the average monster movie of this sort; characters actually do things that make sense in the context of the film and the actors do a good enough job carrying the material when the writing does get a bit questionable, with Shea Whigham's performance being the highlight. Add on to that a solid third act with a few tense sequences and you got yourself a movie that's worth 80 minutes of your time if you have a body horror itch to scratch.
