Monsters (2010)
8/10
Hey, finally a thriller where the phones work!
8 March 2011
Not predictable but thrilling and a fine piece of film making, Monsters works very well with very little budget it has to offer. We were impressed that District 9 was only done for about 30+ million - try 800 thousand!

Very simple plot, photographer Andrew Kaulder has to escort his boss's high maintenance daughter across the border. We know it's not going to be easy (the title kind of gives it away). Hell, we know what type of relationship that our two main characters will be having. Oh well, I'll let it slide for this one.

We are thrown into the after effects of the infected zone. Most houses are in crumbles and everything that requires moving to safety cost a ridiculous amount of money. But is it really only the monsters that are creating this mess? In fact, who are the monsters really?

I'm still in awe with the world they created with the little budget. Gareth Edwards should have a very nice future ahead of him. It's a very solid piece of filmmaking and best yet, it wasn't as predictable as I expected.

my verdict 7.5/10 or Grade B
