Antlers
A small-town Oregon teacher and her brother, the local sheriff, discover a young student is harbouring a dangerous secret that could have frightening consequences.
Why it matters
A moody creature feature that blends folklore with small-town unease, anchored by committed performances but occasionally weighed down by familiar beats.
- Guillermo del Toro's producer touch shines in the practical-creature design, mixing subtle CG with tangible effects.
- Keri Russell and Jesse Plemons bring grounded intensity, elevating what could’ve been a straightforward monster story.
- For fans of slow-burn folk horror and atmospheric dread, the Oregon setting and mining mythology add texture.
- Falls short in scares and narrative payoff, making it better suited for viewers who appreciate mood and monster craft over pure terror.
