There Are Monsters

About This Movie

There Are Monsters is this eerie little gem that really plays with your expectations. You’ve got a crew of student filmmakers on a road trip, and it starts off innocent enough, but then the atmosphere grows increasingly unsettling. The pacing is kind of slow at first, but it builds this tension that really pays off. What’s gripping is how they use practical effects; there’s something unsettling about the way the doppelgangers manifest. It doesn’t go for cheap jumpscares, instead it relies on this creeping dread. The performances are decent, adding to the authenticity of the student filmmaker vibe. It’s a film that leans into its themes of identity and paranoia, leaving you wondering who’s who. Definitely distinctive in its approach to horror.

Focus on the atmosphere and practical effects.Not your typical jump scare horror.Themes of identity and paranoia are prominent.
