Facts. it was such a good way to visually show the struggle of the world they live in. While showing Nicholas cage love and commitment to keep them alive
The thing that blew me away on this movie was the incredible SOUND the monsters make with their snapping jaws! I thought they might be biomechanical from the scene where that finger spike part keeps extending... It was great. We saw enough of them to freak out but not get used to their appearance. 10/10
@@sinistercinemareviews5420 . maybe. Something biomechanical but not sapient. They do adapt and learn though. It's hard to really peg them down- on one hand, Nick Cage kills one in the caves with a knife- on the other hand, they made that sorta "rat king" wheel at the end to chase the kids in the cart. Strange indeed. Definitely a case of "the less we know, the cooler they are".
The FINGERNAIL (or claw?) scene!!!! Now that alone is really the epitome of your point that there’s always something new and weird and different to learn about the creatures every time you see them. I LOVED IT!
@@burtonmoore996 Right?? With the boy sitting on the chair, at first I thought he had fallen asleep and that we were seeing his nightmare, but once he showed that he was the lure in his own trap, I was like, Oh shit, they can really do that! I also really love that their biology isn’t explained, or where they came from. We don’t need every question answered!
These things evolved specifically to hunt humans. They have false teeth and white circles around their pitch black eyes that resembles a face when in the dark. They have foldable limbs that allows them to enter small holes, like airducts and ventillation systems, so no building is safe. They have extendable nails that weve seen one of them use it to tinker and unlock simple locking systems. They make that weird jaw snapping sound, which either causes mild paralysis like a lion's roar or just a useless call like a cat hissing. From the movie, Im still not sure why they do it which makes me fear them more.
It could chalk up to less food sources. Logically , if your food source is dwindling, your strength would diminish. Sometimes, a movie doesn't have to spoon feed its audience to see some portion of logic to explain the rational for why a creature that is scary cannot break a door, etc... These creatures may have been fearsome in its early days when humans were in abundance.
Some people will absolutely find the monsters goofy, but that's kind of perfect. I've got a theory, that the absolute best horror out there will either paralyze you with fear, or make you burst out laughing. Nothing scares every single person out there, you'll never have something that hits 100% of everyone, but the best stuff is so bizarre and experimental that it produces a _reaction._ Whether that reaction is comedy or terror depends on the person. For me, these were the only things to have given me goosebumps in like a decade. I've gone through countless horror films and I'd seen it all by now, nothing phased me till these little freaks of nature. To me, something like home invasion movie doesn't really scare me, because even though it's realistic, when I'm behind the screen, I still understand _what_ the threat is, and what's at stake. These fucking things were so truly alien and grotesque that I got pulled to the other side of the screen. I have no _clue_ what these things are, they're not like anything I've ever seen before! If they had been some writhing mass of tentacles, I'd at least be able to put it into context, but they had _just_ enough familiar features that, when combined with their freakish behaviour, they made _less_ sense the more you learned about them. Mammalian jaws do not snap like that! When I first saw them, I didn't realize that they had a false face on the broad of their snouts, I thought their skulls were just contorting and flexing outwards!
The monster are straight out Stephen king's dark tower and bloodborne game.this is my copium theory i think the monsters are originally came from another universe, a universe that full of eldritch abomination.
I liked the balance of how the humans knew how to kill them and some of their weaknesses but they could easily overwhelm you or kill you quickly if they got the upper hand.
I really would have loved a little more background on the monsters. I found myself trying to figure them out as soon as they first appeared and that took some of the focus from other parts of the storyline. Now I'm digging around the internet, trying to get more info on them, lol.
Good point about, how people tend make monsters too cool looking, while these are unsettling af, not something you even want as pet, it's so offputting lol. Like a giant spider.
Just watched this one and came here to say - it was SO good... Very gritty, dirty, serious, atmospheric, grounded (no over the top cheesiness), thrilling horror, just the kind of horror I love. Loved the camera work as well, pretty fitting. Cannot believe this only has 5.5 on IMDB...
This movie was way better than i thought it would be n def the monster were unique asf i liked it hopefully we get a sequel n get a backstory on the monsters
This was a brilliant indie horror film that took known story beats, and added a whole new kind of monster that is utterly horrifying. I thought the CG was a little too noticeable at first, but the longer they stole the screen, the more I felt genuine terror because they feel like a tangible creature that could be real and living right beneath our feet 🫣
This movie was scary because of the monsters without a doubt. But also because the movie took its time to make you care for the characters so when the monsters do arrive you genuinely are worried for the well being of the characters
I loved Arcadian I had alot of fun with this movie it was really well done the monsters were scary as hell and anything with Nicholas Cage I'm sold....
Feels like cosmic horror, the creatures defy our understanding of logic, the fast violent snapping, the wheel body travel, their chest having a separate mouth with a weird fleshy umbrella membrane with teeth! It doesn't make any sense but that's what makes it an amazing new type of monster, it's disturbing, breaks reality
@@sinistercinemareviews5420 other than that one thing I really loved the monsters tho. Those jaws were terrifying. I wanted the full payoff of those scary jaws xD
I watched this movie by myself at 3 am and when I tell you it SCARED ME IT SCARED ME !!!!!!!!!!!!! Certain scenes made my body JOLT scared , at one point I was watching through my fingers !!!! The fingernail scene gave me goosebumps , the snapping of the mouth scene gave me goosebumps, this is probably one of my favorite films of 2024
Agree with you guys, the monsters were scary AF to me. Very weird and made me curious to how and why they exist. Were they aliens? Mutated humans? The head shake thing was so jarring and scary to me.
@SinisterCinemaReviews I love Nic Cage as an actor and the moment I heard it was a creature feature and it has Bill Denbrough from IT as one of his kids, then that got me really excited, and I really enjoyed Nic Cage’s last Horror-Adjacent movie Renfield where he played Dracula. I say Horror-Adjacent to that one because it definitely reminded me more of something like Evil Dead 2 where yes it had horror elements but just as often it was played for laughs as it was to scare the audience. This one from what I have heard from you and also from my aunt and uncle who have both recommended it to me, goes into a much darker toned creature feature department obviously and I can’t wait, I love me a good creature feature and the quiet place comparisons from you really got me interested because, I love the first 2 quiet place films and I can’t wait to check out the Day One prequel that comes out at the end of this month.
The creatures really saved this one. Every time I was complaining about something, another cool thing would happen, so it's pretty middle of the road for me.
Loved your video. Just subscribed to your channel. I love Indie Films. Especially Indie horror. Watching from West Virginia. Also you have an awesome collection of movies behind you!❤️👍
After the snapping noise the monster seemed to wrap up the mother in a cocoon of sorts ( V the visitors style) and most of her goons on the farm were pulled into the tunnels, i smell a sequel loading. The rolling monsters was a bit silly imo. Trying to remember which cartoon had wolves that moved around in a similarly inefficient way.... 🤔
@@sinistercinemareviews5420 So the whole movie has two? females in it, one is the love interest and the other , the mother , is cocooned. If I had the shekels I'd do a sequel... Kinda writes itself from here on out.
I just watched a video of a baboon and immideitly came to think of these creatures in Arcadian. Baboons start shattering their jaws when theyre excited and their bodies and fur also was very similar.
I thought the monsters doing the weird mouth clattering and then combining into a giant wheel to move as a pack was kind of goofy and silly and took away from how terrifying they were suppose to be.
The clattering felt to me like a stun move with the rapid motion and loud sound disorienting prey at close range, and with them primarily being ambush or stalker predators they wouldn't need to worry much about ranged defences so it works. The wheel is a weird thing though, as they have plenty of mobility normally with their deceptively long reach and quick burst of speed when moving in a straight line working for catching unaware prey and the wheel grouping to catch something moving faster than running speed when the primary prey target is hominids not being likely to originate naturally, but that gives credence to the bioweapon theory.
Interesting how you said some people might find the monsters goofy, apperantly the creator of the film was heavily inspired by the nightmare sequence in A Goofy Movie.
I thought the way how the monsters traveled all together in a big wheel rolling was a unique way of showing the monsters intelligence also and how they tried different ways to attack them amazing film!
YES!!! For some reason a weird-sounding bird name that came to my mind to describe them is a grackle. But then I looked at pictures of grackles, and they look like normal birds. I think I might’ve been subconsciously thinking of the shoebill! Now I would point out that I thought it was a combination of whatever bird…and a Muppet! Like if Jim Henson‘s Labyrinth was an R-rated horror movie. 🤣🤣🤣 Anyway, I loved Arcadian!
Tbh it was one of those movies I WANT to like but it was meh. I only liked the unique design of the creatures and how unsettling they were, especially when they did that violent jaw snapping lmao. But they failed to deliver how threatening they could be. Like a bat was enough to knock them back. I'd would've excpected them to be a lot more violent and intimidating. Nicolas didn't get enough screen time. It was hard to follow what was going on half the time too. It's ok for a low budget movie imo.
Stoked for this and love your reviews. I’m really hoping you can help me remember the name of a movie I think it was you I saw talk about it. A stuntman or martial arts guy decides to make a movie but ends up fighting real bad guys who get on the set he rigged up. Something like that please tell me I’m not crazy
Fall guy is in theaters rn. Did they already make a review on it? There are other movies with that concept tho. Die Hart with Kevin Hart kinda does that concept in a way, I think I remember a Jackie Chan movie with that sort of plot. Js it isn't new is all.
So sad. I wanted to love it, but the dialog was greatly lacking. Only thing good was the creature design. One scene, I started singing, "Wheels on Fire, rolling down the road"
The one brother royally screwed up everything. Got the "father" killed. I think eventually the creatures would have taken out some of the people anyways. "They" are intelligent. The movie wasnt scary at all. Unnerving, yes, only because you dont know where the creatures come from or how they got here.
So your trying to tell me these monsters built a space ship and traveled here? Cmon. Also any conventional army would lay waste to those things if a shotgun can take one out. But I loved the Movie!! A+
I watched another UA-cam review of the movie and they said they came from another planet like there were aliens, which is fine. I think that just adds to the mystery. We don’t know where they came from?
I’d never watch this in theater, highly disturbed 😳 I have never seen no monster like this they definitely killed the entire movie and the dark parts was pitch black
@@sinistercinemareviews5420 what r u even yapping about ?those things literally couldn't break the wooden doors and all its takes one gun shot to kill they ain't even tough as quet place aliens
Rolly moley this was bad .the monster design was great a large mole creature that depends on it's claw's with a large variant you don't get to see it was just the rolling for me that let it down . Otherwise a great performance by all amongst the terrible idea . They should have kept it that simple with expansion for other creatures. At one point I think it's even trying to be a xenomorph . It's like they gave them to much money time and drug's.
@@sinistercinemareviews5420 I really did sorry to be so critical I just couldn't see why they would have to become a wheel . Some great scenes especially the scene where he trapped one the extending claw was unnerving and gave a sense of foreboding they just went a bit nuts with the abilities
@@sinistercinemareviews5420I thought it was pretty cool asf with monsters we have never seen before can't stand all the cookie cutter copies we get nowadays
I musta've encountered the hottest woman alive for me as far as I'm concerned. Sorry, I had to say it. And now im very curious about this movie and its monsters for sure, for what both said
My new least favorite movie I hated it the characters were boring and THE MONSTER WAS STUPID U COULDN'T TELL WHAT WAS GOING ON like idk what the monster even looks like
I thought it was great and I don't know what that has talking about you can see the creatures just fine about halfway once they get out of the pit baby couldn't see him in the pit that when they was in the houses and everything else you can see the creatures just fine you know some people just have corn cobs up places
The creatures were jarring, but in a great way for me. Far as the characters go, soon as I saw Cage with his 2 sons as infants, I was invested.
It went with the surprise without the thought and went o.t.t with the reveal. It looked like the creature took second place because the actors did well and the premise was there.

If there were thousands of them in a crowded city they would be devastating

See that’s the fun
Apparently it's goofy
Not when it's distracting from the film...@@sinistercinemareviews5420
Loved this movie and the creature design. Def need a sequel and some kinda lore on what they are and where they came from
I actually like that it’s never explained
Yes, I agree…I was looking online to see if they might continue in a series format. The younger brother was like a young MacGyver.
The monsters looks like they came from dark fantasy universe similar to Stephen king's dark tower and bloodborne.
Good point about, how people tend make monsters too cool looking, while these are unsettling af, not something you even want as pet, it's so offputting lol. Like a giant spider.
These critters were crazy cool! Kept me guessing every interaction they had. Nick is always a selling point as well.

Him sacrificing himself?
@sinistercinemareviews5420 didn't make sense. He didn't make any difference standing there and could've just joined them
He wouldn't have fit@@naterye557
There wasn't room in the deep freezer for him
So sad. I wanted to love it, but the dialog was greatly lacking. Only thing good was the creature design. One scene, I started singing, "Wheels on Fire, rolling down the road"
Unfortunately, I'm more on the over-the-top side. The monsters were too goofy for me and too derivative of the The Quiet Place.
You aren’t alone

They reminded me of the beasts from blood borne, and I mean that in a good way.
Great review guys i really enjoyed the movie and would love to see a sequel one thing about the video is the background music is too loud
I’m assuming you’re wearing headphones?
@@sinistercinemareviews5420 no I wasn't
I agree. The music is way too loud. Headphones or not
Really enjoyed the move! Loved the monsters !
😈
Seen this one at the cinema yesterday 👍
Really fun easy to watch movie. This days with the latest horror movies it is a win .
Glad you enjoyed it too
Yep those creatures were the wierdest creepiest .i have seen in a movie, i liked it
As expected, this film is dependent on if you like the monsters. It seems to be 50/50
We're the glowing eyes at the end the monsters?
What did the monster do to the girls mom!!!!
If I remember correctly it looked like they used her as a host or nest for their offspring
Please somebody call the Witcher!
Movie is great! Those creatures had my mouth dropped!
Yes!
So your trying to tell me these monsters built a space ship and traveled here? Cmon. Also any conventional army would lay waste to those things if a shotgun can take one out. But I loved the Movie!! A+
Over the top was the monster fire wheel following them...lol
I thought they came from under the ground. That’s my head canon
I watched another UA-cam review of the movie and they said they came from another planet like there were aliens, which is fine. I think that just adds to the mystery. We don’t know where they came from?
Yes i had erks (urks?) too but overall it was fine and fun
Monsters look like tiki heads lol
Haha
I’d never watch this in theater, highly disturbed 😳 I have never seen no monster like this they definitely killed the entire movie and the dark parts was pitch black
So you didn’t like it..
There always one of you... Imagine reviewing u
Please !Someone Can explain me what thé monster did to thé mother of thé girl?
I’m assuming this is how they breed
The monsters would never bring am apocalypse 😂😂,,theyre soo weak.. The military would've wiped them all out
Same with slow zombies
@@sinistercinemareviews5420 on point
The monster look how people dress in my county on special holidays, so I'm sure that for a lot of my country men they look ridiculous 😂😂😂
🤔
Nooooo. These monsters WERE NOT ORIGINAL. They were DEATHMACHINE plus Demogorgon plus Death Angels.
Not a stitch of originality.
That’s a lot of different monsters to make one monster
I said WTF SO MANY TIMES!!
😈
There no way these goofy creatures won against humanity
Humans will eventually kill out all humans, and we are the goofiest fucking creatures that ever existed
@@sinistercinemareviews5420 what r u even yapping about ?those things literally couldn't break the wooden doors and all its takes one gun shot to kill they ain't even tough as quet place aliens
yo bro show me how u would survive this
@@sinistercinemareviews5420 That reply makes no sense. Your replies are bombastic and without substance.
@@f5tes guns or spears that's it just watch the they ain't tough as quiet place monsters
Rolly moley this was bad .the monster design was great a large mole creature that depends on it's claw's with a large variant you don't get to see it was just the rolling for me that let it down . Otherwise a great performance by all amongst the terrible idea . They should have kept it that simple with expansion for other creatures. At one point I think it's even trying to be a xenomorph . It's like they gave them to much money time and drug's.
Glad you liked the monsters at least
Glad you liked the monsters at least
@@sinistercinemareviews5420 I really did sorry to be so critical I just couldn't see why they would have to become a wheel . Some great scenes especially the scene where he trapped one the extending claw was unnerving and gave a sense of foreboding they just went a bit nuts with the abilities
I'm amazed people liked it... to me it was the silliest, most goofy monsters I have ever seen in a movie... Looked like a comedy / satire.
And that’s what I said. They will like it or they will hate it cause of the monsters
Don't waste your money. These monsters are so stupid, with the rapid fire chomping. What is that??? I would have had more fun at the dentist.
As I said, the monsters will make or break the film for people.
@@sinistercinemareviews5420I thought it was pretty cool asf with monsters we have never seen before can't stand all the cookie cutter copies we get nowadays
@@circlecityzombie
Thank you! My thoughts exactly. Very unlike anything else.
I musta've encountered the hottest woman alive for me as far as I'm concerned. Sorry, I had to say it. And now im very curious about this movie and its monsters for sure, for what both said
Who is?
They really did think outside the box when designing these monsters...let's stick to the general vicinity of the box next time
Ha
great monster design not so great movie lol
Better than nothing
tbh the movie was mediocre 3/10 at best
A three is not mediocre
shit movie, too shaky in most scenes that shouldn't be shaking
You’ll like the review on beyond the void
My new least favorite movie I hated it the characters were boring and THE MONSTER WAS STUPID U COULDN'T TELL WHAT WAS GOING ON like idk what the monster even looks like
As I said, the monsters will make or break the film for people.
They're mole people.
And what movie is your favorite movie because I thought it wasn't bad
@@lts_Bubba memento also I love creature movies so when I couldn't see it well and I lot of the monster stuff was not finished
I thought it was great and I don't know what that has talking about you can see the creatures just fine about halfway once they get out of the pit baby couldn't see him in the pit that when they was in the houses and everything else you can see the creatures just fine you know some people just have corn cobs up places
Down voted cos your intro hurt my ears
😱
oiju
Ouija
It's a stupid movie tho let's be honest
Disagree
Boring and pointless
😢
