Flexing with Monty

About This Movie

Flexing with Monty is one of those films that blends genres in a way that feels both awkward and fascinating. It’s a darkly comedic take on the bodybuilding subculture, where Monty embodies a rugged hyper-masculinity that’s almost grotesque. His relationship with his brother Bertin, who carries emotional scars, adds a layer of depth that contrasts sharply with Monty’s brashness. The pacing is interesting—sometimes it drags in the gym scenes, but that just heightens the tension when the horror elements creep in. The practical effects, especially in the climactic moments, are a treat for genre enthusiasts. The performances are raw, especially from the lead, creating a bizarre yet compelling dynamic that lingers in your mind long after the credits roll.
