Thankfully, I had been warned by a reviewer on a horror site that "Monsters" is neither frightening nor especially thrilling, but more of a romantic movie that just so happens to have a few sci-fi elements (namely the monsters of the title) in it. That's pretty important information, because the trailer and the title are misleading and may disappoint moviegoers. If you're aware what you're in for, though, "Monsters" turns out to be a really entertaining film. I would describe it as "Before Sunrise" with giant Lovecraftian creatures. Sometimes it drags on a bit too much, and the ending is kinda anti-climatic. However, the movie is well-acted, the special effects are decent and the story is original. Definitely worth checking out.
