I believe this is one of those films you have to watch yourself to know if you like it or not. No amount of reviews will be able to help you decide.
The reason I say this is because it comes so close to fitting into several different genres, but somehow manages to stand out on its own.
At its core, 'Monsters' is a sci-fi movie. After all, it is about alien creatures. Yet it might not appeal to all sci-fi fans because there really isn't that much sci-fi or special effects in it! However, what there is looks beautiful and strangely well done. It has some elements in common with other "lo-fi" films such as Cloverfield, but again does not compare completely or fit in with that genre.
Really, give it a try. You might just love it as I did. It is by no means a perfect film, but shows what you can do on a tight budget. In my opinion this kicks many other larger-budget movies of 2010 into touch!
