The Rating System

All opinions are my own. We are all different. What I may think is great, you may this terrible. Don't let my opinios stop you from exploring the vast world of horror in all media.

~Mind Blowing: Search for this movie immediately. It can only be described as pure greatness and possible an instant classic.

~So Good: Highly recommended because for one reason or another it stands out above the usual fair. Put the movie on your radar as it wont disappoint.

~In the Middle: The movie is a nothing special, average affair. It may entertain in the short term but it will be easily forgettable in the long haul.

~Warning: This movie is a cliched driven slop of familiar territory. Only watch if you're really of fan of this type of material.

~Steaming Pile: The movie is absolute garbage, a complete bore, and not worth the time or effort.

The Monster (2016)

Starring: Zoe Kazan, Ella Ballentine, Aaron Douglas
Director: Bryan Bertino

Premise:
A mother and her daughter are stranded on a rural back road when an unknown creature comes out to attack them.

My Take:
The movie plays hard on the dramatic with the alcoholic mother struggling to raise her young daughter storyline. It does help feel for the characters when the shit hits the fan. The creature is unique and mysterious which plays right into the suspense.

Rating: So Good

Watched: Amazon Prime
