I had my doubts with this one looking at the poster, but the quick synopsis sounded neat.
All in all I'm glad I got around to this one I had a really good time with it. It helps we don't see the creatures except for their claws for a good amount of time which goes in their favor. When they are revealed yea sure the whole led light eyes looked goofy, their mouths and teeth did look neat (not the best but very passable)
The plot and the character's inc some of their actions towards events is pretty laughable and silly but you go with it.
The pacing is pretty relaxed until the tail end of the film, where the creatures come out and are attacking people in their homes, loads of police cars cording off the area, a government agent trying to cover the whole thing up and potentially fill the sewers full of gas not caring if he blows up half of New York, its just great fun.
I also got a kick out of seeing John Heard and Daniel Stern who I best know from the original home alone movies as Kevin's father and Marv one of the wet bandits, together in this film 6 years to that releasing which is pretty surreal, so I also got a kick out of that.
Pretty fun one for the Halloween season, you need to break up the serious with something like this every so often (still better than Halloween Ends, yea I'm never going to let that go.
