The Monster (2016)

A mother and daughter with a tumultuous relationship are forced by circumstances to spend the night on an abandoned road in the middle of the forest, trying to defend themselves from a mysterious monster.

A horror film that emphasizes the drama and interpersonal relationships it builds up. The drama is believable and palpable, the characters generally act in a way that makes sense and is consistent with the way the human mind works, even in mistakes. The only weak point is the ending, dramatized excessively and based on an idea that is not entirely logical, but does not completely spoil the impression of a good movie built up to that point.

Director:  Bryan Bertino     
With: Zoe Kazan, Ella Ballentine, Aaron Douglas, Christine Ebadi

Rating: 8/10
