Six years ago NASA discovered the possibility of alien life within our solar system. A probe was launched to collect samples, but crashed upon re-entry over Central America. Soon after, new life forms began to appear and grow. In an effort to stem the destruction that resulted, half of Mexico was quarantined as an INFECTED ZONE. Today, the American and Mexican military still struggle to contain the massive creatures... A jaded US journalist (McNairy) begrudgingly agrees to find his boss’ daughter, a shaken American tourist (Able) and escort her through the infected zone to the safety of the US border.

Trailer
Two people find themselves in a post-apocolyptic Mexico and must travel through now alien-inhabited territory to the safety of the US border.-
Visually and sonically, this film should be the envy of shoestring guerrilla filmmakers the world over.
Tim Robey, The Telegraph -
An amazing achievement for a ‘first-time’ filmmaker, which measures up to the finest indies for performance and character-work, and the biggest blockbusters for jaw-dropping effects.
Dan Jolin, Empire Magazine -
Desperate comparisons have been made with ‘District 9’ and ‘Cloverfield’ (not least by the film’s own marketing), but the digitally enhanced texture of the atmospheric ‘Monsters’ – with its weatherbeaten signs, barely glimpsed creatures and edgy encounters – evokes a sweaty, nervous reality rather than a clean, hard-edged artificiality.
Nigel Floyd, TimeOut London
Exceptional budget filmmaking. really enjoyed this. even if it wasn't what I expected at all.
