Arcadian | Rotten Tomatoes (original) (raw)

Hanna Flint Time Out For a low-budget film, the effects work is minimal but effective. Arcadian keeps the aliens’ origins intentionally ambiguous and is all the more spine-tingling for it. Rated: 4/5 Jul 4, 2024 Full Review Mark Kermode Kermode and Mayo's Take (YouTube) It has some memorable moments and it has atmosphere. I think it is best before it shows its hand, or indeed, its teeth. Jun 21, 2024 Full Review Kevin Maher Times (UK) Stop shaking the camera! On its own it does not imply excitement or tension... Beautiful score, though. Top marks for the composers Kristin Gundred and Josh Martin. Rated: 2/5 Jun 17, 2024 Full Review Adam Matthews Film Ireland Magazine Arcadian’s blend of muted performances, intriguing creature designs, unsettling visuals, and minimal exposition creates a haunting, atmospheric experience. Oct 4, 2024 Full Review Mini Anthikad-Chhibber The Hindu Though we would have liked to see more of Nicolas Cage in this all too lean, post-apocalyptic thriller, the young actors deliver solid performances and the creature design is truly the stuff of nightmares Oct 4, 2024 Full Review Emma Vine Loud and Clear Reviews If you’re a fan of creature features, Arcadian is worth a watch for the creature design alone. It’s unlike anything I have seen previously and is sure to satisfy. Rated: 3.5/5 Aug 15, 2024 Full Review Read all reviews

Edgar Love it second time watching it!!!! Rated 4.5 out of 5 stars 04/29/24 Full Review Kelvin G Solid acting with some good scares and maintained the tension. Almost no story to explain how they got to the point where things really start. The monster design was interesting though they kind of reminded me of Tremors. Rated 3.5 out of 5 stars 04/24/24 Full Review Owen Just fell incomplete, I realized there will probably be a sequel but for the first part just seemed incomplete. Other than that, the movie was great Rated 3.5 out of 5 stars 04/19/24 Full Review Mr. Hollywood Nothing new here but the creatures are decent enough. Nicolas Cage is wasted here and the story has been done better before but overall not a bad way to waste some time Rated 3 out of 5 stars 04/18/24 Full Review Michelle C I enjoyed this movie. Lots of tense moments and a couple of good jump scares. I would recommend seeing. Rated 4 out of 5 stars 04/16/24 Full Review See A Lot The movie was interesting but sometimes confusing. Too much of the filming was nighttime scenes which were hard to make out. Rated 3.5 out of 5 stars 04/15/24 Full Review Read all reviews

Synopsis In a near future, life on Earth has been decimated. Paul (Nicolas Cage) and his twin teenage sons, Thomas (Jaeden Martell) and Joseph (Maxwell Jenkins), have been living a half-life -- tranquility by day and torment by night. When the sun sets, ferocious creatures of the night awaken and consume all living souls in their path. One day, when Thomas doesn't return home before sundown, Paul chooses to leave the safety of their fortified farm to find him before the creatures arrive. Just as he finds his boy, a nightmarish battle ensues and Paul is gravely wounded. Now the twins must devise a desperate plan for surviving the coming night and use everything their father has taught them to keep him alive.
