Since Cloverfield’s weirdy half cave-troll/half-whale brutally dissapointed us back in 2008, there’s been a distinct lack of gigantic tentacle-beast action on our screens, but hopefully things are set to change this year, with a number of deadly space invaders and multi-mandibled beasts set to hit our screens. Leading the charge is Gareth Edward’s latest attempt – Monsters.
Judging by this early look it could well live up to the solid buzz that leaked out of SXSW previews, managing to be both eerie and dramatic, with just enough The Mist-isms thrown in to engage on a personal level. If nothing else, Edwards docu-drama pedigree should offer up some decent creature effects, while the Mexican setting adds distinction – is it too much to ask for a gigantic mutant Chihuahua?
