I expected more from a movie with the name "Guillermo del Toro " attached to it. I know he was only one of a number of producers, and not the writer or director, but I still expected more.
Instead this is a purely stereotypical horror film. A Native American myth come to life because of how the land is being destroyed by modern civilization. Nope, nothing original there. Then the monster goes around killing random people, as if that is somehow going to fix things. Okay, sure.
Worse, the movie is paced so slowly it drags, even with the relatively short run time. I guess that was supposed to be atmospheric, but instead it just became boring as the movie went on. The back story of the female lead was given so little time it seemed like it was just thrown in there to fill some time, since it really added very little to the flow of the plot.
And the very last scene? Done so many times it has become expected.
Don't bother with this one. You've seen it before.
