Impossible Monsters

Not much to be said this is just a poor piece of utter drivel with a title designed to lure you in thinking it may be a horror or thriller with bite which it is neither of!

I would rather slit my wrists with a rusty breadknife than have ever watched this but hindsight is a wonderful thing.

Dont waste your time folks this one is a big steaming pile of tvrd!

It's like when a teacher gives you a homework assignment and you play with words on your paper to make it look long but it has 0 content in it, because you never did any research and wrote just the most basic ideas ever.

The acting was bleh, soundtrack was pretty nice and did create a tiny bit of atmosphere (because the characters couldn't). I'd suggest not to watch it (I did watch all of it), also it has a very open ending.

If you are into psychology, lucid dreams, dreams or sleep paralysis, you won't learn anything most likely, except that this movie will show you how much you actually know on those subjects and you will feel superior. Also watching this movie I thought it will get in depth and all I left was with wanting more, because it never got deep, just gave off some illusion of hope.

P.S Also this movie is very predictable and doesn't even hide it, just to end it with "oh so who did it?" and it's never answered. And rossalex231, I believed in your review, you're a scam.

The acting was some of the worst I've seen in years. The two cops in this literally made me bust cry with laughter. It's almost as if someone went on Google, did some sketchy research on dreams and made a movie. You could tell in the trailer the acting might be bad, but the graphic scenes they show in the trailer are much more underwhelming inside the actually movie.

The synopsis of "Impossible Monsters" is very intriguing - an ambitious professor becomes caught up in the murder of a participant in his sleep study, as the lines between dreams and reality blur. The movie has a pretty cool poster and just the right media quote on it. I'm telling You all this because those were the details that sold me and brought me to the big disappointment. If not exactly disappointing, then very underwhelming.

"Impossible Monsters" is, by all means, an adequate film, a decent directional debut effort. Director and writer Nathan Catucci promises a whole lot, mystery, twists and a warped reality, but the hyped up delivery never really comes through. The first half feels a little soapy - the intriguing themes of sleep paralysis and such get saved for later as we watch the characters dealing with their relationships and Nathan Catucci trying to web that all up into something mysterious. The second half delivers a bit more - more atmosphere, more questions and twists. Though the kind of twists that you smell long before you see them. The entirety of the characters, including the performances they're carried on, never really impresses or truly engages. Aesthetically, "Impossible Monsters" looks and sounds good, less stylish and ambitious than I was led to believe, but definitely above average on the technical side. A heartfelt compliment goes out to the original score, the one element that, in my opinion, helped setting mood the most. While my eyes could appreciate seeing the "Impossible Monsters", my brain got more numb than engaged, for the story leads nowhere unexpected, nor anywhere absurd or beautiful. The 84 minutes felt longer than they had any right to do.

There's an undeniable effort put into "Impossible Monsters", but the underwhelming feeling of never getting anything with 'weight' is what it leaves, so for me this movie landed right into the "painfully average" category. My rating: 5/10.

The acting wasn't too bad. The story was confusing and the pacing didn't help. It was hard to watch until the end and then it pissed me off because it was so awful.
