Monsters (2010)
I was glad to see this added to Netflix streaming so I could watch it before seeing Godzilla, hopefully to get a sense of what Gareth Edwards is capable of. Pretty amazing effects and environments for such a low budget film, and the sense of danger throughout was unnerving. It's really more of a drama/romance than a horror movie, however -- not a terribly complex story arc, and not necessary original from that perspective, but the characters were likable and engaging, and I was rooting for them to fall for each other. I could probably complain that there wasn't enough monster action, but I'm not that big a fan of monster action movies anyway, so I'm not going to do that. If that's your expectation, however, you could be disappointed.
8/10
