Get ready for a deep dive into Arcadian (2024), the latest action and horror film starring Nicolas Cage!
In this episode, we break down the post-apocalyptic thriller that has the internet buzzing. Beyond the iconic Cage, the film features a great cast including Jaeden Martell (who you'll recognize from It!), Maxwell Jenkins, and Sadie Soverall.
Imagine a world ravaged by disaster, where a father (Paul) and his twin sons must face ferocious creatures that only come out at night. But forget zombies—these things are unlike anything you've seen! We talk plot, why the Shudder description was genius, and how this movie stacks up against classics like Alien and A Quiet Place.
The host attempts to describe the terrifying, alien-like monsters—a bizarre, unsettling mix of emu, elastic girl, monkey, and human—that have creepy abilities, including how they can manipulate door locks. These creatures are a major source of the suspense and survival elements that make Arcadian a hidden golden nugget of a watch.
