dont let some of the negative reviews fool you. This movie is not a scary action movie, its a Last of Us style survival with a slow burn. For a indie movie with a 500k budget its shot really well and the actors do a good job. the writing is hit or miss and the main characters are not perfect (like most humans, maybe thats the point of the movie.) The movie is called “Monsters” because its not about the aliens. I repeat the aliens are not the focus of the movie. The creatures as they are called in universe look amazing for the budget and at multiple points are intimidating. Most 1 star reviews seem to be people who assumed this was a action-horror which it is not, still a very solid indie film with slow moments but worth checking out
