Atom User Reviews for Arcadian
I really don't know why Nicholas Cage played in this rather low budget film, he must be desperate. Besides the okay acting that was rather heartfelt, this terrible CGI movie is rather disappointing. It may have been better if they put more effort into the creatures.
Had so much potential, but fell short with the clarity of the monsters and half the scenes were shot in the dark
Metacritic
It’s an effective little thriller that knows the conventions and doesn’t stray too far from them.
Arcadian is more than a mere horror film; it’s a haunting meditation on the fragility of humanity and the enduring power of hope in the face of despair. It turns out that mixing heart with horror still works.
Most of Arcadian’s potential lies in its performances (including compelling turns from Martell and Soverall) and the design of the monsters.
