The Monster

About This Movie

The Monster (2023) offers an intriguing blend of comedy, mystery, and thriller that you rarely see. The film dives into a somewhat claustrophobic atmosphere within a closed community, which feels amplified with the backdrop of an impending pandemic lock-down. It's a unique setup—documentary filmmakers capturing the strange happenings as five locals go missing. The pacing is quite deliberate, giving you time to soak in the tension, while the performances from the cast bring a mix of humor and unease. The practical effects are worth noting too; they add an authentic touch to the creature feature vibes. It’s not just about the monster—it’s the community’s paranoia that really drives the narrative. A distinctive take on horror that flirts with dark comedy.
