A CREATURE WAS STIRRING Film Review – Audiences Should Be Prepared to CRINGE!

by  • 

A trailblazing, avant-garde, horror movie swelling beyond “normal” cinematic horror dimensions – deserving this reviewer’s rarely invoked WWCEA rating: WOW-WOW-CAVEAT-EMPTOR-esque-ALERT.

——It’s a powerful sensory cinematic experience that may be challenging for some viewers as it was for some reviewers because of the filmmakers’ creative us of a werecreature, which is a shapeshifter that can metamorphose from human to a particular animal form.

——Nevertheless, audiences in search of a really, really scary movie should not be deterred nor befuddled by the first appearance ever in a movie of a weremonster that isn’t a werewolf. This horror movie is sublime in so many ways waiting to be discovered by audiences!
