Mon Mon Mon Monsters

There is may horror movies today , many hare bad but some are very good , sometimes exellent and some just transend the genre , and this one do . Don't expect anything else than great horror, humour, and a powerful ,brutal and mercilless social drama .

An unpredictable, unique, often brutal and intense little gem. Listed as a horror/comedy but perhaps the humor was lost in translation?

From the title and poster, I thought this was going to be a cute monster movie with cute boys but it was actually quite depressing (in a good way!) Proving that bullying is the REAL monster!!

Side note - I have really enjoyed a majority of the International films released on Shudder. Movies like this one are totally worth the subscription price alone!! -not a paid endorsement-

9/10 movie but i am giving it 10 just because there are so many negative reviews and I don't want people to miss out such a good movie because of the reviews. One of the best film i have seen in ages!! I believe most of the negative review come from people who did not like the director of the Movie due to some drama that happened years ago, I think it is only fair to Judge the movie by itself not how the director handle his own personal affairs. I would definitely give this film more then 10 star if I could. This is definitely a brilliant movie that stands out from a typical horror film.

It's probably not a good idea to either capture a monster...or make one.

I love to go into a movie as cold as I can, and the barely little I saw of this led me to believe this would be a kiddie monster movie for fun, like The Monster Squad. Oh, hell no. I'm guessing this is "supposed" to contain "humor," but this gets dark, fast and gruesome, just for adults.

This is NOT for kids. Even if it mainly stars them.

Bullied student - and not just by his peers, gets to join his closes adversaries for the day and while he wants to be accepted, he realizes, slowly how dark, disturbed and horrific they can be. And then a monster shows up.

They capture said monster, or at least, one half of a pair that doesn't like to be separated from each other. NOT a good idea.

Just like I like to go in cold into a film, I've only given you 1/100th of the movie and there's so much more you can explore. And needless to say, you'll experience more than you bargained for.

I loved the originality, the acting, film-making, but not so much the fake CGI and CGI blood - one of my biggest pet peeves as of late. It's lazy, cheap and beneath any real filmmaker. Do it practical or up your CGI budget to real filmmaking standards.

As mentioned, this gets dark and once the movie remotely starts to dim...there's no going back. So, if you like that, buckle in and enjoy the ride.

Final thoughts: School's out. Time to start learning some lessons. Well, the audience anyways.
