Six years ago NASA discovered the possibility of alien life within our solar system. A probe was launched to collect samples, but crashed upon re-entry over Central America. Soon after, new life forms began to appear and half of Mexico was quarantined as an infected zone. Today, the American and Mexican military still struggle to contain "the creatures," while a journalist agrees to escort a shaken tourist through the infected zone in Mexico to the safety of the U.S. border.

Gareth Edward's first movie. Very impressive considering the shoestring budget. Not at all what you expect - much more character-driven than action packed. More romantic drama, than horror, though there are definitely scares to be had here. Very well shot, and keeps the suspense up by not showing the monsters until necessary. Recommended.

Wow, I did not expect that. This is not really a monster or alien movie, even though it is set in the world of one, it's more of a character movie. Even if there is not a whole lot of plot going on, it somehow ends up being ... beautiful. The whole last scene was just perfect.

After an hour or so you start to think if you made a mistake watching this movie. 15 minutes later you are sure of it. Boring as only a chess game with yourself can be.

Hm, that i a typical 5/10-Movie. It doesn't make much wrong, but has to less ups. Also the ending is a little bit disappointing short. In the end: 5/10 to make a not bad movie with very little budget

Film 79 (Goal: 300) of 2024

Monsters is the directorial debut of Gareth Edwards - who would go on to do Rogue One, Godzilla (the 1st in the new Monsterverse) and recently The Creator. The film is a slow burn revolving around two characters, who are attempting to make their way from Mexico back to More

I enjoyed this film. There, I said it. I have watched it twice and will again at a future time. I see it more as suspense rather than as an action thriller, the difference Hitchcock explained between a bomb going off and the tension of wondering if it is going to go off. A bulging muscled hero or a More

I was suckered. Suckered by the trailer that made no secret that this was a giant monster movie. It wasn't. What it was was a tale of two people that fall in love while trying to get back home to the U.S. Now it wasn't a bad tale. The two characters were likable enough and their interactions wi More

Story that is so down to earth in spite of talking about alien creatures that you think it could really happen ... only, it is not thrilling and gets boring at some point.
The two main characters, though, are very well played by McNairy and Able.
