Weeknight Watchearly ratingWhy it’s a Weeknight Watch
With little lasting buzz, it's a mixed bag. Fine if it's on; don't plan your night around it.
Based on critics, audiences, awards, box office and buzz. Details below.Is it for you?
- Who'll love it
- Tailor-made for fans of close encounters and music lovers. The aliens are the hook, but the human reactions are the story. Shelve it next to Alien or Clayface. The music is woven into the story, not just laid on top.
- The mood
- Scary.
- The pace
- Builds dread steadily, at 1 hr 17 min. An easy one to fit in on a school night.
- What might put you off
- Made in 1964: an older pace and style.
- Not one for anyone who hates jump scares.
A newlywed sheriff tries to stop a shambling monster that has emerged from a spaceship to eat people.
