Show more >> Sky Monster, directed by Tyler-James, presents an intriguing premise that unfortunately struggles to fully realise its potential. The film begins with a spirited celebration as Cindy and her friends board a private jet for her 21st birthday. However, the narrative quickly descends into chaos as they are ensnared by a storm and confronted by a giant Kraken. The film's pacing falters at times, with stretches where character development takes a back seat to the action. Despite this, the performances are commendable, particularly the lead, who captures the essence of youthful exuberance mixed with terror. The visual effects of the Kraken are impressive, bringing a sense of dread to the aerial chaos. While the film does not break new ground in the creature feature genre, it offers enough thrills to entertain. Viewers seeking a light horror-adventure may find enjoyment, but those looking for depth and character exploration may be left wanting. Show less
