J.D. Dillard

Neat little creature flick that confirms J.D. Dillard's status as rising talent. The setup is nothing new, the quality of the CG can be insufficient at times, but there are some great scenes here and the creature reveal is one of the best in years. Short, sweet and satisfying. I'm sure this won't be the last we'll hear of Dillard.

A nifty little and down-to-earth crime flick that is elevated by small but significant sci-fi touches. Don't go in expecting a big, futuristic spectacle, instead you get a fine crime drama with a little extra. Dillard's direction is solid, the actors do a decent job and the ending is spot on. A very pleasant surprise, looking forward to Dillard's next one.
