This movie was way better than I went in expecting. The big Netflix stamp always makes me weary, however I found myself feeling very unsettled once things start to get weird and the pace from there is fantastic.
“Monster” is a little underwhelming, but I kind of always have that conclusion with creature flicks where it isn’t seen until the end. I do appreciate it being a god though- added an extra element.
The first two episodes were largely a faithful recreation of the game. While I appreciated the authenticity, I wondered why this needed to exist. If I wanted to reexperience this story after all, I could just revisit the game.
This episode really did what the series should be doing. It gave us a new angle to look at a story beat that was there in the game, but only shown to us in the past tense. Now we're getting to live through these moments, and that makes the series really feel worthwhile.
