I will give points to A Creature Was Stirring (2023) for trying to do something that was original. A were-porcupine (A Porcupinecanthrope?) is a new addition to the monster lexicon. It's a parenting horror piece. Also, a home invasion. And a drug horror story. The problem is that in execution, it never finds its proper footing, and the narrative gets lost.
