    Disturbing.

    A disturbing horror, with twisted characters who I was darkly drawn too. Who was the Monster?

    HORRENDOUS, absolutely terrible film

    Ignore the good reviews, they must have been done by the cast. This film is so cringe worthy, awful acting, awful effects and an awful script. Few funny parts but they were down to the terrible acting! Swerve at all costs.

    Not a bad watch

    Unsettling and bittersweet at times, Monster created a dismantled project that errors the hell out of our comfort zones.

    Good book adaption.

    Considering the low budget and the fact it was Matt Shaws feature film directing debut, all I have to say is WELL DONE. The overall story wasn't boring and the intense scenes worked for what it was trying to accomplish. I actually enjoyed it and you could tell the cast were having a blast even though the films content was sometimes near the knuckle. But that's Matt Shaw for you ... If you know his written work then dont expect this film to be a typical run of the mill horror story this is a psychopath serial killer plot with an extra pair of whatnots. I for one enjoyed it and will watch his next film ASAP. Again well done Matt and to all who were involved.British Horror, that's all I need.

    Definitely worth the watch!

    Great award winning movie. Brilliant makeup effects, great horror story, decent acting, and very suspenseful. Loved it! It does have foul language and it is a horror movie so be forewarned before you watch it. Don't watch it then leave a crappy review because of the language and gore...
