Monsters Ratings & Reviews
- stuhannaford24 december 2025A bit of a hidden gem, and some of the hiding, probably comes from the fact that it’s not quite what it says on the tin. It’s no high action, sci fi, shoot em up, but instead focuses on the journey of our two lead characters. Both have a warmth that draws you towards them as they start a path of discovery, finding themselves, and each other, in daunting surroundings. Despite the budget, the effects are impressive, where deployed, but the focus is certainly elsewhere. For a film where little really happens, it is a film that keeps you watching and invested. An ambiguous ending, feels the perfect direction for two people that seem lost and rudderless themselves.
- Michael15 maart 2025Not your typical monsters film. Little bit of sub text going on. But overall it was enjoyable. 3.5/5
- svei6 december 2025Two rather dull people find their way through a jungle strewn with tentacle monsters from outer space. I sort of like them because they're relateable in their dullness, she's in south america avoiding an engagement to marry, he's a photojournalist with a broken heart finagled into getting the rich girl home to her dad, his boss. There's sort of a romantic element, but it's not really romance, they just seem equally lost, a magnetism between them based on a similar need to escape. It's an interesting character study if you go with it, and the characters are very much of the 00s, and quite real.
- Kevin Ward6 juli 2025I really liked the relatively simple concept at play here and the movie for the most part works just fine. However, there’s a sort of poison pill lodged in the middle of this narrative and unfortunately that is Scoot Mcnairy’s character. Mild spoiler I suppose, but we’re supposed to buy into an eventual romance between Andrew Kaulder (McNairy) and Sam Wynden (Whitney Able). But I legitimately hated Kaulder and really felt like Wynden would have as well. He asks if he can come into her room after a night out, to which she says “no” in about 10 different ways in about the nicest ways possible, yet he continues to try and talk his way into her room. He lets up, but goes out and gets drunk and sleeps with a rando, lies to Sam about him having a kid, lies about his room not being ready. Irredeemable shit, in my opinion and it made the relationship aspect of the film uninteresting to me.
- Matt Kelly12 januari 2025Kinda slow but the story was good. The acting was not bad. Overall I might watch this in about a year!
