In case you haven’t seen the intro from my entry dated
1/26/19 (it’s in my archives whenever you want to read it), I’m no longer going
to review every single movie I see. I’m
going to review one, with the occasional bonus, and just give ratings for the
rest from now on (unless I decide to pick it up again in the future). You can always ask me why I gave the ratings
for the films without reviews though (via comments or the e-mail addresses
under the ‘About Me’ section).

Slash/Back OK/G
You’ll be reminded of John Carpenter’s The Thing initially, and one character even describes moments from
that film. Luckily it isn’t too much
like it though, a film I find overrated.
I was also reminded of flicks like Slither
and Attack the Block, more so the
latter; this film involves a group of young girls from an Inuit community in
the Arctic called Pang (short for a longer name) banding together to save their
town from an alien invasion. I liked it
better as a coming-of-age story, especially since it represents a community we
don’t often see in narrative form. The
effects are CGI, but we don’t see too much of it and they actually aren’t awful
(the main reason I’m not a fan of John Carpenter’s The Thing is the way the effects look, even though they were
practical). All in all, not a bad
addition to the alien invasion subgenre; it just needed a little more meat on
its bones and seemed like it ended too soon.
