The Burrowers

The premise is original, the monster is original (and the way it eats is fantastic), the story is a bit clunky, but there are so many good ideas at work that I don't mind a clunk here or there.

The emphasis on manliness and tough characters doing the right thing feels not unlike a story Hawkes or Carpenter would tell.

Good stuff. I'm guessing I'll enjoy it even more on repeat viewings.

7/10
