The Monster

"My main issue with this film? The monster. I have a very hard time taking creatures seriously in horror films. And, when any inconsistencies pop up, I find myself easily aggravated because I’m already trying to accept a creature as a villain. It’s seemingly impossible for me to be patient with melodramatic moments between the human characters in the midst of evil creatures. I know this about myself, but every so often I give it another shot after finding some excuse to do so: “It’s an A24 film”, “It’s from the Director of…”, etc. The thing is, I liked the build up in this film. I was even still kind of intrigued when the creature first attacked and wasn’t shown in any detail. My recommendation… give it a chance if you enjoy creatures in thrillers/horrors. But, if you’re like me, just keep scrolling titles."

"Very good. Great suspense. Not a lot of gore and pretty much all practical effects as opposed to everything being CGI. "

"Come for the creature, stay for the well acted dysfunctional family drama. "
