Banshee animal6/29/2023 You can tell the creature is a person with masks and prosthetics, but the only area you can truly tell it is a person is in the arms. I know this is something I rave about in almost any movie that uses practical effects, but I believe it is a dying art that needs to be appreciated. When it comes to the creature itself, I loved the practical effects. I think a majority of my issues with the characters had to do with the writing and directing, as opposed to the acting. There wasn’t a single performance I felt was done poorly, but there wasn’t necessarily a standout performance either. This made up for the lackluster character stereotypes, at least a little bit. The acting was surprisingly good considering it is a monster horror movie. You have the nice smart girl, the slutty girl, the jock, the boy next door, the gay friend (a more recent horror movie stereotype), and the jerk that you can’t wait to watch die. Looking back, I believe there was only one scene in the movie that actually surprised me.Įven the characters in the film were stereotypes. It made it very simple to determine where the storyline was going to go. To be fair, I watch a lot of horror movies so I can usually predict what is about to happen even with the more unique movies, but this one was one big monster movie stereotype. I forced my husband to watch this film with me, and I found myself on multiple occasions looking at him and saying, “I bet this is about to happen,” only to have that exact thing happen two seconds later. This movie was fun and gory, as most monster movies should be, but it was all painfully predictable. The group must band together in order to keep the creature at bay and find a way to escape. The friends get chased to a cabin where they find other survivors. It is some kind of predator they have never seen, and it will stop at nothing to hunt them all. The friends soon realize there is something in the woods. Their hike was poorly planned, and they end up hiking back to the car after dark. Upon arrival, they find out the camp grounds are closed, so they go on a hike instead. A group of friends decide to go on a camping trip.
