Monsters (2010) 6/10

Starring : Scoot McNairy, Whitney Able, Mario Zuniga
Director : Gareth Edwards
Running Time : 94 mins

Years after an alien presence has infected much of Mexican, causing the American government to set up a quarantine of the surrounding area, American photojournalist Andrew Kaulder (McNairy) is asked by tourist Samantha Wynden (Able) to be her escort back to the American border.

I was really looking forward to this movie, that is until I sat down and watched it. Thinking that it looked like an original monster movie that actually focussed on characters rather than bogeymen, and featuring Scoot McNairy who I loved in ‘In Search Of A Midnight Kiss’, I was expecting excellence. Instead I got a mediocre movie that had little or no substance or direction that left me feeling cheated.
