“Arcadian” captivates with its intense creature design and a strong narrative driven by survival. While the film might underdevelop its characters due to the constant threat, the high-stakes environment and impressive effects make for a gripping horror experience. Nicolas Cage, while more subdued, supports a young, talented cast that delivers compelling performances against a backdrop of nightmarish adversaries.
