A girl is warned by her family to not leave their bunker, lest she runs into the monsters that now prowl the Earth. Curiosity has a way of pushing people to explore, however, and what this girl discovers above ground is not at all what she expects in the short film Monsters, which you can watch in its entirety right here on Daily Dead.
"The Twilight Zone… The Outer Limits… Alfred Hitchcock Presents… These stories shocked us, scared us, and forever imbedded themselves into our memories. They were social commentaries and morality tales, disguised as psychological thrillers. But where are these types of stories today?
The truth is, they don’t make them anymore. So we want to tell one of our own.
Monsters is a Twilight Zone style story for the modern world. It seethes with suspense from its first moment, all the way up to its jaw-dropping finale. And like any classic Twilight Zone episode, it’s grounded by universal themes that anyone can relate to. This is a short film that builds upon classic nostalgia and combines it with a 2015 sensibility."
Directed by Steve Desmond from a screenplay by Desmond and Michael Sherman, Monsters stars Caitlin Carmichael, Ione Skye, Christopher Wiehl, and Joey Luthman. To learn more, visit the short film's official website.
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.
