Quarantine has led to me binge-watching my way through all the horror movies on Hulu, Netflix, Amazon and Tubi. So I've seen some pretty shitty movies. This was not one of the worst I've seen, but also not one of the better.

I'm guessing it was very low budget.

The Pros: 
* Decent amount of gore if that's your thing
* For the budget, the creature actually looked pretty decent. Props to the sfx team
* The closeup of the scorpion was pretty cool. Some of the scenery/artistic shots were actually done pretty well
* Didn't drag as much as some of these below budget B movies
* I laughed at the part where the almost kiss got interrupted. That was pretty good.


The Cons: 
* Whatever band did the songs. I'm sorry but whoever said it sounded like they were karaoke Trent Reznor was right
* Like all of these low budget monster films they drag out "getting to know the characters" when everyone knows they're all going to die. The movie could have been a lot shorter without the unnecessary partying and over exposition. Nothing super exciting happens until like an hour in and even then it's not particularly scary
* The camerawork. Shaky and all over the place.
* The acting was stilted. Not as bad as some I've seen, but it definitely felt like it was a college movie project
* Nobody knows how to fire a gun


Overall: unless you want to watch roughly an hour of twenty/thirty-somethings fumbling through a script, or watch something you don't have to pay much attention to for 90% of the time, pick something else. I'm honestly giving it three stars because of the special effects team and most of the scenery shots.

The b-horror subgenre features modest production values, simple plots, and reliance on certain horror tropes and clichés. The stories are often low-budget, low-quality, and sometimes intentionally campy or cheesy. The "B" designation originally referred to the second feature in a double feature presentation, with the "A" film being the main attraction. Over time, "B-movies" became associated with low-budget and less prestigious productions.

The horror genre features stories that aim to elicit fear, suspense, and a sense of dread in its audience. Horror stories often explore themes related to the unknown, the supernatural, and the macabre, and they frequently evoke strong emotional reactions such as anxiety, terror, and unease.

In a search for her missing grandfather Sue and her friends are terrorized by the Sandsquatch.
