Hugh, youre the new horror movie thread.
And....
How in the fucking fuck do you guys quickly post images?!
Ok, well shit, i watched the horribly titled: The Monster
It starts out as a mother and daughter against each other. Mother is an addict, the kid is the adult, and they make a car road trip for the kid to be dropped off to the grandmother. A monster attacks on the way, they rekindle their bond flame as they battle the beast, end.
It is copied, yes, and the mom casting sucks. They really milk the crying parts. But i actually really like, not love, the setting! Its Cujo, but its night, on the road in the woods, and its raining. Its simple and its great! There is a monster and yea it looks unique, almost like a panther. I love that when they break down, the elements become a bit predictive, but welcoming.
Its flaws come from the conclusion. Not just the climax, but how it gets there, the 'happening' (hah!), and the last minutes. Its strung out and becomes TOO predictable, and unsatisfying. I suppose there is a "shock," but i didnt give a shit.
I give it a 6.5/10, maybr a 6 even as a horror.
I rate anything above 5 as something worth a look. Its on netflix.
