A goofy, earnest monster romp where the absurd bird puppet and deadpan military talk make it a laughably fun watch.

How it feels: Campy, absurd, tense and earnest. Brisk and easy to follow.

Content: Mild violence and gore. No sexual content or swearing.
Note: Written by AI, so it can be wrong. Full breakdown
