    You watch this, you flush down 90 minutes of your life you will never get again.

    Not a bad watch

    Unsettling and bittersweet at times, Monster created a dismantled project that errors the hell out of our comfort zones.

    Disgusting, Psychotic, Brilliant!

    This movie was just as sick and psychotic as I expected in the best possible way! It made me cringe at some points but was a brilliant movie for it! Deffo give this a watch, and check out Matt Shaw's books after if you liked it because they're just as awesome!

    Great adaptation

    This is a fun and gory romp. Well made, and direction is spot on.

    Unsettling horror

    This is a genuinely unsettling film. There are moments of dark humour which help break the tension creates by the exceptional performances by Rod Glenn and Tracy Shaw. The story is entertaining and I would highly recommend this film.
