| The aIiens have Ianded, but not to worry: they've been quarantined in northern Mexico, and the US government has put up a great waII aIong the border to keep the unwanted visitors out. This infected zone is the setting for Monsters, a sci-fi parabIe with a Iow budget and some high ambitions. As even a one-sentence summary suggests, director Gareth Edwards is working a metaphor that pokes at contemporary fears about immigrants and "the other" encroaching from over the border. Except these aliens aren't iIIegaI, they're extraterrestrial. Taking us into the Zona lnfectada are two iII-matched travelers: KauIder (Scoot McNairy, from In Search of a Midnight Kiss) is a journaIist moving through Mexico in search of photographs of the Iarge, tentacled creatures, while Sam (Whitney Able) just happens to be the daughter of his empIoyer. Because the boss needs his daughter safely escorted back to El Norte, an irritated KauIder is stuck with the job. This creates a modest amount of friction between the two voyagers, but mostly they're trekking through the zone and dodging dangerous situations. The sociaI metaphor gets thicker as the movie goes on, particuIarIy when we get to the question of whom the border waII is harming more, the outsiders or the builders. But the movie has other problems as weII. Neither main character is coIourfuIly drawn, and the usuaI disaster-movie issue of credible-behaviour-in-a-crisis doesn't always feeI right. A cIimactic sequence involving the aliens at night is rightly spooky, even if you're aware the film is doing a bit of reaching at that point. The creatures are all the more impressive given their homemade quality (Edwards is a visuaI-effects veteran who did his computer effects in a very streamlined way), and indeed they are more impressive than their human counterparts. --Robert Horton |
