Nicolas Cage's latest film sees him on the cover of this near futuristic family apocalyptic thriller. Although he is top billing, his character feels more supporting to his teenage son Thomas.
Arcadian does certain things well such as the design of the monster looks very creative and is intimidating. A problem is the camera work once we see the monster is rather shaky and the color scheme looks slightly dark to see a full glimpse of these creatures. This film resembles somewhat like a Quiet Place mixed with several teenage fantasy novels.
The characters don't stand out enough. Nothing is very memorable and the film for the most part is rather bland. Also we don't get an explanation as to why and where these monsters came from. The plot and story feels like something we have seen many times before, with minor tweaks.
