Bryan Bertino has explored the evils of humanity in The Strangers and Mockingbird, and with his latest film, The Monster, he turns his attention to creature-centric scares that are teased in the movie's first trailer.
"Acclaimed horror filmmaker Bryan Bertino (The Strangers) directs this suspenseful and scary new film, in which a divorced mother (Zoe Kazan) and her headstrong daughter must make an emergency late night road trip to see the girl’s father. As they drive through deserted country roads on a stormy night, they suddenly have a startling collision that leaves them shaken but not seriously hurt. Their car, however, is dead, and as they try in vain to get help, they come to realize they are not alone on these desolate backroads - a terrifying evil is lurking in the surrounding woods, intent on never letting them leave…"
Written and directed by Bryan Bertino, The Monster stars Zoe Kazan, Ella Ballentine, and Scott Speedman. The film is now available to watch on DirecTV and will be released in theaters and on VOD beginning November 11th from A24.
Raised on a steady diet of R.L. Stine’s Goosebumps books and Are You Afraid of the Dark?, Derek has been fascinated with fear since he first saw ForeverWare being used on an episode of Eerie, Indiana.
When he’s not writing about horror as the Senior News Reporter for Daily Dead, Derek can be found daydreaming about the Santa Carla Boardwalk from The Lost Boys or reading Stephen King and Brian Keene novels.
