Monsters

A monster movie that's more about two people bonding than the monsters themselves. That's what I'd have to say about this film. If you're expecting something like Cloverfield you will be majorly disappointed but if you're open minded enough about this movie you will be rewarded. But don't think that the monsters aren't impressive though because when they do show up (where the man and the woman are passing through the "infected" zone with their guides) it is an impressive sight. Andrew is a photographer who's in Mexico taking pictures when he is ordered by his boss to take the boss's daughter Sam back home to America. The only problem with that is that through some fault of Andrew's they are left to go through an area of land that's northern Mexico and the southern part of the United States called the "infected zone". It's called that because of a probe sent earlier has returned and brought with it creatures not from our earth. These creatures are living in the zone and are being "contained" within this area. The U.S. even put up a giant wall to keep them out. So the only way back is through the zone. Scott McNairy & Whitney Able do an incredible job here as the main characters as well as all the secondary characters who actually are, from what I've understood, real people interacting with them! This brings a natural element to the film that seems more real. Truly a unique film that will probably be shit on because of some people's own misconceptions of what they thought it should be. Worth the time if you're willing.
