Arcadian

In a near future, life on Earth has been decimated. Paul (Nicolas Cage) and his twin teenage sons, Thomas (Jaeden Martell) and Joseph (Maxwell Jenkins), have been living a half-life — tranquility by day and torment by night.

When the sun sets, ferocious creatures of the night awaken and consume all living souls in their path.

One day, when Thomas doesn’t return home before sundown, Paul chooses to leave the safety of their fortified farm to find him before the creatures arrive.

Just as he finds his boy, a nightmarish battle ensues and Paul is gravely wounded.

Now the twins must devise a desperate plan for surviving the coming night and use everything their father has taught them to keep him alive.

With beautiful imagery, scary monsters, and strong performances, Arcadian is a winner as an individualistic kind of humanistic horror film that leans into the relationships between the survivors and their quirks rather than huge amounts of gore.
