    This monster movie is different and effective in its own way.

    This short horror film was pretty good. It had some moments that were a bit creepy and I enjoyed the performances of both the mom and the little boy in this one. The atmosphere was good as the black and white made an everyday house and everyday things seem more sinister than they would have been otherwise. The story has a rather hyper active kid really beating down one of his stuffed toys, a rather ugly doll that to me resembled a witch a bit. Most kids can remember that childhood toy that really did not delight them, but rather scared the crap out of them. Well the boy seems convinced that the thing is alive and really freaks out when he glimpses it in the closet. Well the mother thinks it is just an over active imagination at first, but something seems a bit off kilter. Like I said this one overall was okay, my favorite part was when the mother heard something while she and her son were in bed and she looked out her door. To me that was the freakiest part in the film. The conclusion is a bit strange though, I did not completely care for it, but then I still feel I must give it credit for being original. The final scene is even more strange, but once again it was different. So while not the most shocking or creepy short horror film I have seen, it was an interesting watch and it did things a bit differently than one would normally expect.

    Love it.

    It's a shame I came across this short 13 years after it was made. I loved the full featured film of 2014 when it came out. It's really nice to see the original inspiration for the 2014 film in this one.

    I actually thought the monster in this one was scarier than the one from 2014. The little boy in this one is just as effective at annoying the adults as the 2014 film lol. But the boy was adorable just the same.

    Amazing Short Film

    I saw this short film at the Shriekfest Film Festival in LA. In the story, a young boy believes there's a real-life monster living in his closet. At first, his mother dismisses her son's claims and thinks its his imagination running wild. The mother soon learns the haunting truth of what lies inside the closet. The director has an excellent command of the horror genre. The film is shot in grainy black and white and has a foreboding Gothic feel to it. She knows how to ratchet up the suspense, especially in the incredible staircase scene. The whole audience practically leaped out of their seats. The performances by the young boy and mother were solid and very convincing. I really liked the climatic scene in the film. The director took a different route from the usual gore fest and resolved the film in a creative and emotionally fulfilling way. Overall, its a great film that really scared the crap out of me.

    The groundwork

    Jennifer Kent's Monster is a haunting precursor to her acclaimed feature The Babadook. This short film delivers a striking tale of maternal anxiety and psychological terror in just ten minutes, showcasing Kent's talent for blending emotional depth with suspense.

    The story centres on a single mother and her young son, whose quiet life is disrupted by the appearance of a shadowy creature lurking in their home. On the surface, Monster is a straightforward horror story, but Kent uses this simplicity as a vehicle for exploring profound themes, particularly the fear of parental inadequacy and the looming presence of unresolved trauma.

    Kent's direction is meticulous, using sparse lighting, practical effects, and tight framing to evoke unease. The monster itself, while only glimpsed, is an unsettling figure-a testament to how less is often more in horror. The film's atmosphere relies heavily on suggestion, allowing viewers to project their fears onto the creature, much like the mother and son project their struggles onto this ominous presence.

    The emotional undercurrent of Monster elevates it beyond standard genre fare. The mother's strained relationship with her son is palpable, and the monster seems to embody her internal struggles, blurring the line between external and internal threats. This allegorical depth is a hallmark of Kent's work, later perfected in The Babadook.

    While brief, Monster lingers long after the screen fades to black. It's an unsettling exploration of fear, both imagined and real, that resonates on a deeply personal level. A must-watch for fans of psychological horror and a brilliant showcase of Jennifer Kent's early promise.

    This has aged well!

    Monster follows a young boy and his mother who live together. The boy is frightened of a creepy doll that he eventually keeps in his closet. To help ease his terror, the mother lets him sleep with her in her room.

    This is very atmospheric short and the jump scares work really well. I was genuinely on edge the whole time. I'd recommend watching this alone, late at night with the lights off. You are in for a treat!

    This clearly inspired Kent's 2014 feature, the Babadook as both share many of the same horror tropes.
