At last another great movie by Netflix which caters to adult, intelligent viewers. It starts as a classical murder story, but then turns into something larger and more menacing, like a reptile shedding its skin. The actors are superbly casted, all act realistically and intensive. Dialogues are sharp and the viewer needs to concentrate to follow. Camera work is flawless with many cool drone shots, beautiful and quiet landscape. The story unfolds first slowly then increases pace until an exciting and satisfying grand finale. So check it out, give it a few minutes time, Reptile will unfold like a wonderfully crafted wine.

No quality in sight. Diverse teenies with magic fighting monsters. For the 100th time. What happened to the Netflix of old (House of Card, Orange is the new black, Stranger things, Better call Saul, Ozark)?

I nearly skipped this film due to its mediocre 6.5 rating. Fortunately i did not. Neither have i read the book or saw the 1974 film (most old films are totally overrated). This version is fast paced, interesting, beautifully shot and has solid (not super strong) performances. It has a few minor flaws but is definitely a movie to enjoy. So ignore the bad reviews and have fun
