Viewers’ Guide
Not Recommended for General Audiences
This movie features a mix of very mild sexual content, but its high levels of violence, gore, and intense scenes make it unsuitable for younger viewers or sensitive audiences. While it avoids profanity, alcohol, drugs, and smoking, the overall tone is intense and may be overwhelming for general or family-friendly viewing. Best suited for adults who are comfortable with graphic and highly tense content.

Strong Storytelling
The Herd is a movie that delivers on story, and it’s easy to see why it stands out. The narrative is solid and engaging, keeping you invested from start to finish. The casting is also on point; each actor fits their role perfectly and brings their characters to life convincingly.
While the action scenes are exciting, the stunts could have been executed more effectively, which is a minor drawback in an otherwise strong production. Despite that, the film holds together well, offering a satisfying and enjoyable viewing experience. Overall, The Herd is a good watch, combining a top-notch story with commendable performances.

Great movie, perfect delivery
The storytelling is top-notch, but the vfx could use some improvement. I believe they will get there eventually.
