(Gareth Edwards / 2010 / UK / 94 minutes / cert 12)
Set in the near future, six years after an alien invasion, Monsters is not your average creature feature. Director Gareth Edwards focuses the story on the relationship that develops between Andrew (Scott McNairy) and Samantha (Whitney Able). He is a photographer looking for a big break in Mexico; she is the boss's daughter who has missed her boat. He's given the task of escorting her safely home. What stands in their way is the Infected Zone, straddling the border between Mexico and the United States, and crawling with deadly alien life forms. Made for $15,000, Monsters is a masterclass in low budget film-making.
