Monstrum

About This Movie

Monstrum is quite a curious blend of documentary and drama, exploring the darker side of humanity through the lens of folklore. The pacing often reflects the tension of the tales it weaves, sometimes slow, like a fog settling in, then picking up with startling revelations. The atmosphere is thick with dread, and there's a raw edge to the performances that feels genuine. Practical effects are used thoughtfully, enhancing the tension rather than overwhelming it. It's that mix of reality and myth that gives it a unique flavor, and you can sense the director's passion for the subject. If you appreciate films that dig into the cultural psyche through compelling narratives, this one's worth a watch, though it won’t cater to everyone’s taste.
