getting lost in the forest is never a good idea

MONSTER is a dark fable of 5 little girls that get lost in the forest and fall victim to their vices. There's been a monster in the swamp forest as long as anyone can remember. This is the story of the first time the monster made itself known and the only time anyone escaped.

I loved the look and I loved the story. It's rare that you can say,

"Hey, I've never seen this movie before!"

Beautiful visualization and animation!

A lovely piece of work. Visually gorgeous and inventive.

The stop-motion designs are elegantly simple and effective.

A deliciously dark and beutifully rendered fairy tale that mixes chilhood fears with a striking silhouetted style
