Making Monsters

I watched this last week, and actually chewed my nails during certain hide and seek type scenes. I was all scrunched up on my couch, with my hand over my mouth, thinking girl, don't breathe, he will hear you. Ha Hahahaha Is this an original story, no, but had some original elements and was just plain CREEPY and Claustrophobic feeling. I thought the acting was pretty good for a low budget movie and the house was pure eye candy for horror movie lovers of monster props. For some reason in certain scenes, that guy reminded me of a Duplass brother. This movie wasn't a splatter fest, used gore when it was vital to the scene, which I appreciate. And if you get in the head space that your one of the characters who played the couple as you watch it, It's actually full on scary if you put yourself in their shoes. The scariest part is that there well may be people out there, for REAL, doing horrific things like this to someone as you sit on your comfy sofa watching this movie. The world is full of SICKOs FOR REAL! :o.

I happened to stumble upon the 2019 movie "Making Monsters" in 2021. I had never heard about it, and I didn't even know what it was about. However, I saw the movie's cover and figured it to be a horror movie, so of course I ended up watching "Making Monsters".

And while "Making Monsters" from writer Justin Harding was watchable, it was not really an outstanding or memorable horror movie. Sure, the storyline was adequately entertaining, but it just didn't bring anything new or fresh to the table, so it was essentially just a fairly average addition to the genre.

Directors Justin Harding and Rob Brunner managed to make the movie watchable, just a shame that the contents of the script and storyline was a bit restrictive. The movie suffered from being a bit cluttered and lacking ups and downs to its storyline. The story just trotted out there is a fairly monotonous pace, for better or worse.

The acting in the movie was actually good, and actors Tim Loden, Jonathan Craig and actress Alana Elmer actually carried the movie quite well. Now, "Making Monsters" is not a movie that has a lot of people on the cast list, so there was a bit of extra pressure on the actors and actresses performances, and luckily they rose to the occasion.

For a horror movie then "Making Monsters" just didn't cut it for me, no pun intended. The movie wasn't scary, and it felt like writer Justin Harding was just riding it safe and playing on horses that have been in horror movies before.

I am rating "Making Monsters" a slightly less than mediocre four out of ten stars. It was watchable, but this movie came and went without catching my attention, and it is a movie that will quietly fade into oblivion in my book.

I have to give to credit to this film because it was a random choice of selection without even researching too much of what the film was about. To my surprise, this was interesting and rather enjoyable for what it was.

I liked the execution of showing the right elements of creepiness to balance out the film and create this sort of paranoiac reality.

I do question the film, more so the characters and why? Was the initial substance meant to create such a trip or was it a game for the thrill of scare and live stream? Maybe it was both combined with a envy x jealousy, and out of this came an ultimate plan to become the new "it", the center of attention. The weird was obvious from the beginning...

I recommend this if you're looking for something different, something that's creative and creepy in one. It's a good one in my book.

I've seen a comment on here about wishing the stuff from the movie would happen to the creators. Why are you watching scary movies???? Go back to Disney channel. This movie has an interesting storyline that keeps you watching to find out what happens. It's one of the better horror movies I've watch this year.

So many movies have been doing the "web cam" style since, you know what, and I can appreciate what the movie has to offer. Trust me I've seen a lot of TERRIBLE and actually GROTESQUE movies. The actors did a great job.

Started off very enjoyable, but the ending was disappointing. They could have done so much with it! And didn't really tie everything up. All in all, well worth a watch, even if just for the gorgeous church converted house!!
