Dropbear? Dropbear! This movie was surprising, and I understand how some people underestimate it and call it boring, but I found the narrative tight, the characters engaging enough and the monster...? It is a delight. You don't get to see it too early or too much, but the noises and its presence is terrifying, and it makes the movie far more interesting than any other monster would have, in this narrative. It is fun, and I recommend it.
