And what a design it is. Obviously it's guys or gals in suits and stilts, but it's a cut above what you might expect for an early 2000s indie creature feature.
I'm surprised it didn't make your rewatch list. It is, to me, the Platonic form of this type of creature feature, in the same way that Tremors is the Platonic form of the "creatures come to a small town" version. Nobody's winning awards for innovation necessarily, but there's merit to simply executing familiar tropes at a high level. Not an annual rewatch, but I dust it off every few years.
