Making Monsters

About This Movie

Making Monsters is a curious entry in the horror genre, diving into the dark side of social media. The film balances its horror with a tense atmosphere as the couple's weekend getaway spirals into a nightmare. There’s a rawness to the performances that really captures their descent from playful pranks to desperate survival. The pacing is a bit uneven—at times it drags, but it builds a sense of dread that keeps you engaged. The practical effects are pretty solid, giving it that gritty feel that modern CGI often lacks. The whole idea of live-streaming horror on the dark web adds a modern twist, making it feel more relevant and unsettling. It’s not groundbreaking, but it does something interesting with its themes.
