What to Know

Critics Consensus

Carried by Lily Sullivan's outstanding lead performance and enriched by an expertly administered sense of creeping claustrophobia, Monolith is an eerie thriller that burns slow and lingers.

Melissa L @Agent99 17h I found the movie quite dull until near the ending. It became interesting, and a little bit horrifying. The ending left you guessing. See more William T. @Will1 19h How much are critics paid to give a bad movie high marks? 87% on RT? Me thinks not. This is not a slow burn it’s a slow dud. See more Ibrick T @Ibrick Jun 1 It's a slow but half decent story until the ending is revealed. Then you'll be sorry you sat through it! See more L W. @phillybird52 May 19 I really enjoyed this one. It’s a slow burn science fiction type drama I had to read about the theories of the ending which really made the movie all that more interesting to me See more Will C @RT18582368 May 16 Lost me in the first 10 minutes. Boring See more Oscar E. @oscarpac Apr 22 Slow burn. It was definitely worth the wait. Leaving this movie with lots of dread! Absolutely thought it was a fresh new idea. See more Read all reviews
