A Must-Watch Film That Will Haunt You in the Best Way
Your Monster is so much more than just a horror-fantasy—it’s an emotional gut-punch that challenges everything you expect from a revenge story. What starts as a quirky, darkly comedic tale about a woman rediscovering her strength through an imaginary (?) monster turns into a devastating commentary on power, rage, and the consequences of fighting back.
Melissa Barrera kills it (literally and figuratively) as Laura, a woman struggling with illness, heartbreak, and the suffocating weight of being constantly dismissed. The movie sets you up to root for her, to want her to reclaim her space and voice—but when she finally does, the cost is so much higher than we’re prepared for. And that’s exactly what makes it brilliant.
The final act is frustrating, tragic, and absolutely unforgettable. It dares to ask: What does “winning” even look like for women like Laura? Does society ever truly allow them to take back their power without consequences? It leaves you sitting in that discomfort long after the credits roll.
I finished this movie feeling angry, exhilarated, and completely in awe. It doesn’t give you the satisfying, easy revenge arc you expect—but maybe that’s the point. Your Monster is a film that deserves to be seen and discussed because it holds up a mirror to the ugly truth about how we treat women who refuse to stay silent.
If you love stories that challenge you, this is a must-watch.
