Monsters

"Monsters is the best monster movie of the millennium."

-Austin Chronicle

"AN INTELLIGENT SCI-FI FILM THAT IS ABSORBING, THRILLING AND ULTIMATELY MOVING. An impressively assured debut for Gareth Edwards that succeeds on pretty much every score. A clever and subtle blending of the best of District 9 and Cloverfield, with a believable love story thrown in for good measure."

-Mark Adams, Screen International

"GRIPPING. A sci-fi nightmare similar in plot but more sophisticated, character-driven, and chillingly underplayed than both ‘Cloverfield’ and ‘District 9’."

-Village Voice

"ONE OF MY FAVORITE MOVIES OF THE YEAR."

-Tony Timpone, Fangoria

"A MASTERPIECE. Heart-thumpingly real."

-Gillian Moheny, Interview

"VISUALLY SPECTACULAR. Director Edwards has created a dystopian landscape that’s so naturalistic, it’s uncanny. The film peaks with an alien mating dance of astonishing verisimilitude."

-Karina Longworth, Village Voice

"EVERY IMAGE LOOKS LIKE MILLIONS OF BUCKS. The titular monsters are a strangely sublime piece of work."

-Keith Uhlich, Time Out New York

"****1/2. Engaging storytelling amidst some of the most visually striking cinematography and visual f/x work I’ve experienced since 2006’s Children of Men."

-Heather Wixson, Dread Central
