Review of Antlers (2021) by Caribou_Goo — 29 Oct 2021

First ~2/3 of the movie had a great unsettling atmosphere, dark symbolism, and intrigue going for it. The last act left little surprises and it just felt unsatisfying when characters act incorrectly to circumstances/previous responses. How the main protagonists past ties into the theme ends up just being used to justify the unlikelihood of how they clumsily resolve the plot. The dark themes the movie wants to explore and the simplicity of summarizing the events are at odds with each other.

Great monster design but if you come mainly for that you might be disappointed with it's lack of appearances. Technically well executed but did very little to create true moments of horror, anxiety, or disgust.
