This is a fun movie, in its way. I actually watched it twice because I forgot to review it the first time, but once I realized I recognized it, I kept watching it anyway because I recally kind of liking it, and I kind of liked it again.

An annoying millenial podcaster gets an offer of $25,000 to come interview a charismatically crotchety, dour old farmer, in memory of his late wife, who was a fan. The farmer says a huge many-eyed monster lives in the woods behind his house, and turns out to be wildly paranoid, and has loaded up his property with security cameras and mechanical death traps.

And, refreshingly, it’s mostly a character study. This is a horror movie, sure enough, but a whole lot of it is two guys talking—or, more often, the podcaster trying to get an interview, and the farmer telling him he wishes he’d shut the fuck up.

But it’a not entirely talk, as soon, there are seldom-seen people in hazmat suits on the property, and the death traps start going off.

It’s a little different. I liked it enough to moderately enjoy the second view, just like I moderately enjoyed the first view. Not a lot of movies like this hold up passably to even a first viewing, let alone a second.
