Nicolas Cage is back to battling monsters in “Arcadian.” The new family-focused creature feature from Shudder and RLJE Films pits Cage’s post-apocalyptic survivor and his two teenage twin sons (Jaeden Martell and Maxwell Jenkins) against night-roving monsters with a creature design unlike anything we’ve seen on screen in recent years.

What Is “Arcadian” About?
It’s Nic Cage and his two at-odds teen sons (played by “It” star Jaeden Martell and “Lost in Space” star Maxwell Jenkins) against hoards of weird, animalistic, flappy-mouthed monsters that only come out at night. Here’s the official synopsis:
“In a near future, normal life on Earth has been decimated. Paul and his two sons, Thomas and Joseph, have been living a half-life – tranquility by day and torment by night. Every night, after the sun sets, they face the unrelenting attacks of a mysterious and violent evil. One day, when Thomas doesn’t return home before sundown, Paul must leave the safety of their fortified farm to find him. A nightmarish battle ensues that forces the family to execute a desperate plan to survive.”
