A Creature Was Stirring (2023)


A mother caring for her sick daughter must deal with strangers who break into her house in order to take shelter from a deadly situation brewing outdoors.
What a bizarre fucking fever dream of a movie. From the hyper-stylized comic book red-and-blue color palette to the weird symbolism steeped in religious allegory. I still haven't found a satisfying explanation for any of it. It's one of those shitty low-budget horror flicks that's so strange and hard to recommend to others, yet it's memorable for all the same reasons. Did I like it? Did I hate it? I still don't know. I feel like this movie will get stuck in my head for no other reason than how confounding it was.
