Monster

About This Movie

So, 'Monster' from 2023 is kind of intriguing despite the mystery surrounding it. The tone leans heavily into a gritty realism, which makes the odd moments stand out sharply. I found the pacing a bit uneven, but it somehow adds to the unsettling atmosphere throughout. The practical effects have a rawness that gives it a genuine feel, which is a real treat in an age of CGI overload. Performances are solid, but there's this haunting quality in the way the characters interact that lingers. It’s not your typical monster flick—there’s a kind of existential dread woven through the narrative. Definitely different, worth a look if you appreciate the quirks of indie horror.

Release format: Digital and limited theatrical run. · Filmed on location with a focus on practical effects. · Unknown director, adding a layer of mystery to the film.
