RobotReviews: Antlers
Guillermo Del Toro's newest offering delivers the goods in this deeply disturbing genre flick. It definitely has Del Toro's stamp serving up delectably intense scares and gore in the events surrounding his real world damaged characters.
No gimmicks with this one. Great tension supported by believable effects and solid acting, particularly from the child actor portraying the creepy main character, Lucas.
Antlers comes in at a slim trim 100 minutes and character development may leave a little to be desired but the plot moves forward without suffering. It would be difficult describing the plot without giving too much away, just know that Del Toro gives a fantastic impression of foreboding without showing too much of the monster until the time is just right.
I give it a 4/5 meat clevers. Must see for any fan of Del Toro or the genre in general.
