With almost no lasting buzz and soft box office, this one could be a tough watch. Keep your phone handy.
Based on critics, audiences, awards, box office and buzz. Details below.Is it for you?
- Who'll love it
- One for people who love a good growing-up story and fans of giant monsters and bigger battles. Small moments carry real weight here, the way they do when you're young. The scale is huge: humanity is very much the underdog.
- The mood
- Scary.
- The pace
- Tense from early on, at 1 hr 24 min. An easy one to fit in on a school night.
- What might put you off
- Rated R: meant for adults.
- Skip it if you scare easily or watch alone at night.
Sex-hungry teens are kidnapped by auto mechanics, who take them to a rural hospital run by aliens who need their blood as the key to their own longevity.
