Hide the Monster

About This Movie

Hide the Monster, released in 2016, takes a unique spin on the horror genre with its unsettling atmosphere and slow-burn pacing. The film navigates the dark world of unsolved cases, diving into themes of isolation and the unseen monsters we face in society. The footage hacked from government networks adds a layer of authenticity, making the viewer feel like an unwilling witness to these haunting stories. Performances by the leads, Thomas and Alex, are raw, and they manage to capture the anguish of their young counterpart beautifully. Practical effects are used sparingly but effectively, enhancing the eerie tension without relying too much on CGI. It’s the kind of film that lingers, leaving you with more questions than answers about the nature of fear and societal neglect.

Indie horror with unique narrative style.Focus on social issues through the lens of horror.Interesting use of found footage elements.
