It's basically ET if ET was creepy, I think the film is more about loneliness than grief the creature (alien) is lost and alone and just wants company . It doesn't deliberately hurt anyone yes it kills the dog but the dog attacked it first. the guy fell running away and even when it's being stabbed it said let me go Laura and runs away. It's creepy expression is the dads face from the photo and it's only reference. It probably goes for the boy because he would seem the least threatening. I ended up feeling pretty sorry for the beastie he just wanted a friend but ended up dieing alone
With that title, I expected more from this movie. I found it a dull and frustrating retread of The Babadook, plus, really one note and unlikable main characters. The only thing I kinda liked, was how firmly they established it was definitely a physical monster, not a metaphor. Though that added nothing to the story.
Just watched it after reading the summary....The Babadook did this theme a lot better

This is a really great take, that really bums me out for the poor creature

Was more of a drama than a horror that thing was freaky but they didnt do enough with it and that woman was super unlikable
