Monsters (2010)
Written & directed
by Gareth Edwards this film stars Scoot McNairy and Whitney Able. In
the near future an American photographer is tasked with helping his
publisher's daughter travel from Mexico back to the US through a zone
infected with monsters.
Highly impressive for
it's low budget this is not exactly a horror film but does a good job
of mixing monsters in with ideas about illegal immigration. While I
am not 100% convinced on the subtext this was still a great watch
through out that builds plenty of tension without the excesses of CGI
in a lot of monster films. There are decent performances from the
cast but it is the direction and cinematography both from Edwards
that stand out.
4/5
