Golly... They whispered almost the whole time and some actors must have had some tongue swelling, or something blocking their lips from pronouncing words. It's incredibly ridiculous and was painful to get through but the movie was pretty surprising... Although, very slow paced to get to the point, 3/4 of the way through, they miraculously started talking regularly and tbh it was a pretty good plot... Typical government conspiracy stuff - basically, the beginning of colonization without using a Bible. Rather, just stories and lessons from the "elders" BUT, YOU GUESSED IT, there is a "being" they can't see but fear! A story told from the beginning of the lies, which was interesting, considering I'm from a small town where legit neanderthals live but moved to the big city and this story is basically how they think- No joke! I would recommend it. It was a good hoot and a look back to my childhood!
