    Did I miss something?.
    I get the feeling the version of this film I watched had whole scenes missing because it made about as much sense as fitting a windscreen wiper to a tennis racket. Something catastrophic has happened and Nicholas Cage and his two sons are barely surviving in the desolate aftermath, scavenging by day and fending off were-horses by night, scarcely enough food and no amenities. Some obvious questions soon arise though, first being what exactly are the were-horses?, and secondly what exactly are the were-horses?. The whole thing is just nonsense, a collection of bog standard action/survival type situations knitted together by some truly horrific and utterly random touching moments. This whole not intended comedic masterpiece should have been put in a sack with a heavy stone and lobbed into the nearest river.

    "Arcadian" had so much potential. Its a character driven horror movie, stars come back king Nicolas Cage, and has original monsters in it. But unfortunately its quite badly made.

    I liked the resticted story. Which focuses mostly on 2 brothers who don't get along, struggling to survive on a farm in a post apocalypse setting. I also liked the old fashioned feel of the movie which keeps the creatures mysterious and largely in the dark.

    But unfortunately some of the mad stuff the creatures do doesn't work, and keeping everything in the dark is cool, but not when the cameras moving around as much as this and the viewer can't make out any of the action.
