jason-hcj's rating
I came here to see Kelsey Chow. She gave a good performance in 1923, which likely helped her land this role. The storyline of this movie isn't particularly original, so in order to be interesting to audiences, it will need to be directed in a truly innovative manner. However, it didn't happen.
I have observed a trend in Netflix shows lately, as well as in some movies with big casts. They all tend to begin in an intriguing manner, only to falter towards the end. It almost seems as though the script wasn't fully developed before shooting started. As a result, once the budget starts to dwindle, it feels rushed to tie up loose ends. The movie is full of loop holes, it is not even worth mentioning, just too many. Anyway, I still like Kelsey, so I gave it 5 star.
BTW, when is 1923 season 2? Can't wait.

The acting is ok, the scenes are beautiful, but the premise that a primitive tribe girl can kill an alien predator is pure none sense. I get that she is smart and brave, but that's not enough, ok? The premise made the movie look like a little kid's movie instead of for adult, but my kids won't watch this kind of show, so who is the audience?
Overall the show's atomosphere is quite good, built up properly. Acting is good too. It didn't completely fall into those cliché of werewolf story. However, there are some funny facts, such as,
The movie showed the Gatling machine gun in the beginning, then Boyd was using a front load musket to kill the first beast?
