I can’t praise this film enough to building its own richness throughout its runtime.
At first, it really does seem like a typical, sci-fi, monster movie but as these characters are fleshed out, it becomes so much more. Thomas Jane was wonderful and as much as I hate her character (in a good way), Marcia Gay Harden fucking killed it.
The main praise I have for this film is the pure vein of horror that it thrives in. Frank Darabont did a fantastic job at creating this evil universe that actually feels dangerous. There’s really not a moment where I felt like any amount of plot armor could protect these characters, especially towards the end.
Also, the ending; just, wow.
