Monsters(2010)

Genre: Drama/Adventure

Monsters as the title of the movie gives u shimmers and some gore stuff, but Monsters is not about it. It has two characters named Andrew and Samantha. Andrew is a free lance photographer and Samantha is Andrew’s boss's daughter. Set in future, there are some Alien creatures that have been living in Mexico due to some scientific research and now they are thriving on the Mexican land and most of the parts of Mexico have been infected. There is a huge wall built to keep the creatures away from the United States. Both of them being US citizens, they try to reach US with limited transportation facilities. Airways being stalled, they travel with armed men across the border area. Threat of Monsters is less during daytime as they don’t come out. Not an inch of Monster alien is being shown until the last scene. The film has very few special effects, a simple story but it has some different feeling which will want you to like the movie. Samantha and Andrew both being very private at start, gradually cut the slack, become friends and they both do not share a conventional romance too. Aliens can be felt by the mournful sounds, and not so clear night vision images. Monsters is not about the alien creatures thriving on earth but the way the film has been carried ahead with 2 characters supporting each other and their fear to stay away from monstrous attacks. It’s not a movie which will hold you onto the seats, but it’s an unusual movie.

Rating: 3/5- Good
