Would have been a better movie if they had left out the crypto monsters

No need for made-up crypto monsters. Just set the drama amongst the humans. Perhaps have the evil corporation as the villian trying to off the employees. Or have someone from another corporation stealing Intellectual Property and killing the rest off. We don't need crypto monsters.

That's already a very burned-out cliche of isolation monster movies.

I believe you mean "crypto" monsters.
As in "cryptids" and "cryptozoology" ?

It's like saying I wish Romanticism was not so sentimental or cars had two wheels instead of four. you just don't like the whole genre! your criticism targets the very essence that makes the genre. you should not watch a sci-fi/ horror if you think the monster was unnecessary!

The evil in man is more horrifying than anything in the animal kingdom.

not denying that a man can be a more horrifying monster but still, that idea belongs to another genre. it doesn't have to be this or that. both concepts deserve to be explored separately.

Well, it was a monster movie. You don't take Godzilla out of Godzilla or The Wolfman out of The Wolfman.
