It’s a horror criticism cliché to say that “whatever a filmmaker presents you with on-screen, it won’t match what already exists within your own head’’. The overused platitude is trotted out on a regular basis to lambast directors for supposedly ‘’showing too much’’ – with the insinuation being that an antagonist is often more frightening if they remain unseen.

While we wait for them to pull back the curtain on the latter, among others, NECA did just make a major reveal. There’s...
