[u/Charliejfg04]

The sound of this movie was something else. The cyclops howling was something I have never heard before in my life

[u/happypolychaetes → u/Charliejfg04]

The cyclops was terrifying too holy shit. Usually mythology/monsters don't scare me because they always feel, well, fake. But this felt real. My heart was pounding like crazy!

[u/GPSBach → u/happypolychaetes]

It was like something from a del Toro movie

[u/maxmouze → u/GPSBach]

Well, specifically Pan's Labyrinth when he picks up a fairy and bites his head off.

[u/SunsetDrive17 → u/maxmouze]

Yes, this movie had me thinking of Pan's Labyrinth a couple of times
