Excellent film! Thoroughly enjoyed that. It had a lot of the same vibe as Arrival, which I also loved. Really interesting concept that they did a good job exploring, with a really well-designed creature to top it off.
Nice little sci-fi horror flick. Recommended.
Maybe i got too excited by the synopsis and first quarter of the feature. Seemed to drag a little for me as it progressed.
I feel like there are very few monster films in this particular sub branch. If I was to name the sub branch, that would be a s spoiler, so I won't, but I will say that Sputnik certainly makes recent big studio entries in this area (that start with V) look like garbage. Sputnik has high production values, a repulsive monster, heavy 80s Soviet mood and keeps coming up with new ideas to spin the film on.
Not bad,felt bad for the Alien though, even if he was consuming fear soaked brains!
