The best creature features use their beasties as stand-ins for something deeply human, a narrative quirk mined to perfection in writer/director Jim Cummings' pitch-black horror-comedy The Wolf of Snow Hollow. The werewolf carving up local women in the small, wintery Snow Hollow is the monstrous embodiment of the impossible expectations bearing down on its sheriff, John Marshall (Cummings), already juggling law-enforcement with an ailing father (Robert Forster), rebellious daughter (Chloe East), and alcoholism threatening to rear its ugly head far more often than the full moon. Add a werewolf to the mix and its no …

The Blumhouse film stars Kiersey Clemons as Jenn, a young woman who wakes up stranded on an island after an off-screen shipwreck and quickly discovers she's not alone -- she floated right to the home of a mysterious, monstrous sea creature.

Crawl, 2019's killer alligator movie from Alexandre Aja and Sam Raimi, made creature features scary again and saved it from parodies like Sharknado.

It's extremely rare that I see something that makes me stop and think "this is just extremely my shit" as often as I did during Sweetheart, the sharply-scripted, smartly-directed creature feature from Sleight filmmaker J.D.
