Hydra

release year: 2025
genre: monster mayhem
viewing setting: home streaming 7/6/26

synopsis: A handful of people wake up, one by one, in a strange house in the middle of nowhere, outside of which roams a giant three-headed snake.

impressions: While I'll give this movie credit for trying some new things, it eventually devolved into unexplained nonsense. One named character appeared as two different people/actors - never explained. Someone's memory loss, which was a core element of the "why" of the movie - never explained. The nature of the monster and its ever-changing size - never explained. Why one character mysteriously knew things yet didn't heed her own advice - never explained. My biggest gripe: the cover/image for the movie shows a giant monster amidst burning buildings and helicopters - which NEVER HAPPENED in the actual movie, as it was set in a wooded area and house with nothing else around, ever. Deception!

acting: Tiffany McDonald was the amnesiac main character, whose nature eventually changed without any explanation or reason. Eric Perez was a big, stupid police officer.

final word: Incoherent monster nonsense that also engaged in false advertising..
