    Horror has changed since I was a kid running to the movie theater every weekend and putting down $4.00 of my hard earned allowance and not in a particularly good way. It's hard to find a decent horror flick that doesn't have a god awful plot less story line with an abundance of over compensating gore. I liked Nightbeasts a lot! The plot was thick with some old comfortable favorites like the remote small town, complete with the small town sheriff and the not so bright deputy side kick who have the responsibility of solving the mystery of the strange, vicious killings. The twist was involving a tired divorced dad, his kid, and the ex-wife in the mix. I didn't expect there to be another story line involving the sad dissolution of a marriage and a kid eager to spend time with his dad. This side plot gave the movie a more realistic feel. It also lulls you before the full on Sasquatch battle begins. Gory and brutal, but well crafted which is how horror movies used to be and should be again. The creatures hunt in packs and aren't stupid which is challenging to the human crew. Questions answered with a satisfying conclusion but not before a whole lot of bloodshed.
