Hugo S @Hugo_Shudder Jul 20 To escape an abusive relationship, Laura moves to a remote home with her 7-year-old son. Soon after moving in, the young boy claims to be haunted by a mystical creature that inhabits the surrounding lake. Despite the efforts of the overprotective mother, the boy's nightmares keep surfacing until they reveal an unexpected twist. Set in the 1950s, "Monstrous" tackles the domestic horrors of a family coping with their traumas while they try to adjust to a new life. Despite the stunning visuals and the remarkable period representation, the existence of a monster as an extension of the family’s drama is a metaphor that often feels inconsistent. Since this element of ambiguity has been used in many other movies with a similar narrative, it doesn't take long for the viewer to uncover the real tragedy at play.

See more Ricardo d @RT43154676 Dec 11 Cristina brilha com sua atuação e personalidade, mesmo que remeta um pouco a sua personagem de Yellowjacks. O tema todo é sobre perda e luto, ok. Mas querer ludibriar o expectador mudando tempo foi legal, mas ficou sem explicação. No fim não sabemos se o monstro era real ou coisa da cabeça dela, e se a casa foi destruída por ela, ou se ja era uma espelunca. E se a mobilia seguia o tempo atual ou não. Se tivessem tratado com mais carinho a idéia, com certeza seria um filme melhor.

Shocking writing and a storyline that makes absolutely no sense. See more 11/16/2024 It’s ok although I found the plot twist in the first few minutes. It’s quite slow although the acting is really good. See more Read all reviews
