344) MONSTERS
(2010 dir. Gareth Edwards) Date Seen: September 30 2010
Very low-budget DIY movie folks are becoming more daring with the genre stuff they're willing to take on; & I'm here to say I'm fully onboard & excited to see the things creatives are going to dream up. I have to imagine work like this (& MOON and SLEEP DEALER), warts & all, were what Coppola had in mind when he used to evangelize about the democratizing power technology was going to have on personal filmmaking. Also OMG, this was apparently shot on a jailbroken Eos SLR? and all the VFX were done in After Effects on laptops?! Blimey
