The main issue with this movie is that it doesn't have any direction. The narrative is mute, characters are bland, and there isn't a concept to peak your interest.
Not all movies have to have a plot twist, a character arch, deep philosophical observations, or just a fun concept to explore, but a movie to be interesting has to have one of these qualities.
Arcadian, fails on all points. It's a monster movie, yet we don't get to see the monsters in any detail, know anything about them, or the dangers that the monster pose. There isn't any consistency in our villains, at one point they can only scratch a door and in the other they have strength that is superhuman.
The writer or writers attempt to create a story about family and the difficulties of growing up with two same age brothers and one dad in a claustrophobic environment, and even try to toss in some romance, yet not one plot line really takes off. Most of this movie feels like a trailer.
I don't recommend watching this movie at all. Only reason I almost made it to the end is because I had a sleepless night...and didn't feel like reading.
