Description: Forget jump scares; "Monstrous" (2020) burrows under your skin with a chilling slow burn. This isn't just a monster movie; it's a harrowing exploration of trauma and the monsters we create within ourselves. The film masterfully uses the external threat – a creature lurking in the shadows – as a metaphor for the internal demons that haunt its protagonist. Christina Long's performance is breathtaking, conveying a raw vulnerability that anchors the film's unsettling atmosphere. While the creature design is effective, it's the psychological horror that truly lingers, leaving you questioning the true nature of the beast. "Monstrous" is a powerful, unsettling experience, a testament to the enduring power of psychological horror.
