Monsters

Armed with a tiny crew and miniscule budget, writer/director Gareth Edwards delivers this stunning, suspenseful British sci-fi shocker set six years after Earth (barely) survives an alien invasion that leaves huge sections of Mexico infected and legally off-limits. Naturally, that harsh terrain is just what a photojournalist and his boss's daughter must cross in order to reach safety in America─a wasteland of human and otherworldly threats. Whitney Able, Scoot McNairy star. 94 min. Widescreen; Soundtrack: English; bonus digital copy.
