Arcadian (2024, D: Brewer) S: Cage, Martell, Jenkins, Soverall
In Theaters Only April 12th
Starring Nicolas Cage, Jaeden Martell, Maxwell Jenkins, and Sadie Soverall
Directed by Benjamin Brewer
Written by Mike Nilon
In a near future, normal life on Earth has been decimated. Paul and his two sons, Thomas and Joseph, have been living a half-life – tranquility by day and torment by night. Every night, after the sun sets, they face the unrelenting attacks of a mysterious and violent evil. One day, when Thomas doesn't return home before sundown, Paul must leave the safety of their fortified farm to find him. A nightmarish battle ensues that forces the family to execute a desperate plan to survive.

I liked it. The focus of the movie is more on the two boys and their relationship instead of Cage.
I would have liked to have learned more about those wolf monsters. They were weird. But the story was engaging with alot of intense moments. Random, but is the actor who plays Joseph from Stranger Things?
Maybe it's just me but I feel like Cage has had more hits than misses recently. This, Pig, Dream Scenario, The Unbearable Weight of Massive Talent. All strong imo

the acting was decent.

Sounds like A Quiet Place blended with I Am Legend. I'll watch it when it's free to stream.

Saw this a few weeks back and felt the same.
It's competently made but it's nothing I'll return to.
As already mentioned, I wish the cinematography wasn't so dark (at times), so you could actually get a decent look at the odd creature designs.
