Review of Colossal (2017) by Phildog — 11 May 2017

I don't like doing it, but this movie get's a 4 based on it's production work alone. That's it. The story, the characters. None of it works.

I'm sure that somewhere in this film there were points that were supposed to be funny, and others that were supposed to be terrifying, but honest to god I couldn't tell you what they were. At no point I felt any inciting of laughter or horror. It feels like a genuinely bizarre picture that aims to nail that rare "horror comedy" blend but like most movies that attempt this fails at both. Frankly, it feels like both a failure as a monster movie and a small town drama. Strangely enough, not because it tried to mix those genres.
