Review of Monsters (2010) by Mike P — 18 May 2014
This is my favourite movie. Perhaps because of the story behind it. Gareth Edwards was a minor film director who took a tiny crew including two fairly unknown answers and made a monster movie on a realistic and believable backdrop.
The fact that all the Visual FX were completed by Edwards in his apartment and the signs were all screen replacements, simply inspires me. The story is perfectly paced. The ending shot of the two actors is brilliant.
The trick with the beginning of the film makes you excited to watch the film again. It doesn't suffer on repeat viewings and has great sound editing to make the actual aliens rather creepy. Only bad thing: I dislike the fact that a sequel has been made.
