Storyline
Did you know
- TriviaFive green 1950s-era Dodge trucks were built for the movie. One, with its engine in the pickup bed, could be driven from a position under the hood. Creech drives from that position.
- GoofsWhen everyone gets in their new "monster trucks", they all put on 5-point harnesses. When Lucas Till is nearly pushed off the cliff, he isn't wearing a seat belt, and has to hang off the door to avoid falling. In the next scene, he is back in his harness.
- Quotes
Sheriff Rick: You be careful, son.
Tripp: Rick. I'm sorry I said all those terrible things about you,
Sheriff Rick: Wait. What?

Featured review
Starts off by giving little information about some of the core characters. Slowly building up to the first meeting with "creech".
My Kids absolutely loved it, they don't care about CGI, does it look like another, or how hammy some of the acting may be. They wanted to see an fun, entertaining film, and they certainly got that!
In some ways the creature reminded me of "Toothless" from How to Train a Dragon, but that would be down to it being a child.
Overall, the plot was great for a family movie, few minor plot holes, but the kids didn't notice that (nor should they tbh)
Overall, I took the kids knowing what the film was about and what to expect, and it was delivered.
