The Monster is quite a slow placed film, which I think would put quite a few people off it. There are the use of flashbacks of the girl and her Mother’s relationship and their struggles. This keeps the audience entertained and breaks up the film quite nicely. The suspense built up around the monster was achieved effectively too, as when we finally see it we feel scared. Overall, this horror film doesn’t stand out massively as anything incredible, but it is a good, slow paced and entertaining watch that horror lovers most likely will enjoy.
