There were clues, but I still liked how it turned the tables on me.
It certainly doesn't do much with its plot, but it's perfectly understandable why and those are points in favor of the film as a whole, because it doesn't needlessly drag outThere were clues, but I still liked how it turned the tables on me.

First half drags a bit but there's a neat twist about halfway through and then you're in for a hell of a ride until the final credits. Better than i expected for sure.

This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. I went through most of this movie thinking it was really good. The whole "oh it's him, not her" moment was a nice surprise. A part of me really liked her using the shark as a weapon, the other part thought it was a little silly.
But where the movie lost me was right at the end. I mean come on, defeated by the suggestion of anxiety. That was just plain stupid and basically ruined the whole thing.… Expand

Honestly, I did not expect anything but cheap generic scares, but oh boy was i very wrong. This has incredibly clever writing for a short movie and I can't spoil it, but there are many twists that made me drop my jaw and I'll tell you it'sHonestly, I did not expect anything but cheap generic scares, but oh boy was i very wrong. This has incredibly clever writing for a short movie and I can't spoil it, but there are many twists that made me drop my jaw and I'll tell you it's worth the time and even money to watch this and be left satisfied. 9/10 exceptional film even if it's not that long.… Expand

If the level of the Paramount+ offer is this one, there is no good news. A delusional sci-fy movie in which the protagonist girl spends time trying to kill the alien boyfriend even though she discovers from the first attempt that he is indestructible. If you are looking for something original or simply with a little more logic, turn elsewhere.… Expand

The lead performances were more than acceptable, and really the only thing worth mentioning in this very slow burn thriller that goes so unexpectedly off the rails in the 3rd act. A typical trauma backstory with no real breakthrough orThe lead performances were more than acceptable, and really the only thing worth mentioning in this very slow burn thriller that goes so unexpectedly off the rails in the 3rd act. A typical trauma backstory with no real breakthrough or meaning. Nice and short though.… Expand

This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. Solid and well-made science fiction horror, which convinces with a good acting performance of the two main protagonists (Maika Monroe and Jake Lacy) and with a calm camera work. Especially the wide landscape shots are impressive. CGI's are in the upper range and don't disappoint. Furthermore, the surprising twists carry the story and keep the suspense high.… Expand
