First Look: Matt Shaw’s MONSTER Based on Amazon Best-Seller
Mike Sprague
|
Author Matt Shaw is directing the adaptation of his Amazon best-selling book Monster, which hit number one on Amazon’s Horror Charts (beating the likes of Stephen King) several times since its release in 2014.
The feature film is being promoted as a cross between The Texas Chainsaw Massacre and Natural Born Killers and stars Tracy Shaw, Rod Glenn, Danielle Harold, and Laura Ellen Wilson.
The film is described as “an uncomfortable tale exploring the theme of nature versus nurture. Who’s the real monster? Despite the horrors on screen, there are quotable one-liners and black comedy laced throughout with scenes that will stick to the imagination, such as the human birthday cake….” And today we have the film’s poster and some first-look stills for your viewing pleasure.
You can check out the poster to the right and a gallery of first-look stills below. After that make sure to hit us up and let us know what you think in the comments below or on Facebook, Twitter, and/or Instagram! We’ll let you know when we hear more.
Synopsis:
Emily is tired of her life. In a dead-end job that she hates and an employer who takes advantage of her, she dreams of a life away from the daily grind. Her life will take an unexpected turn, however when she is snatched from work and bundled into a van. She awakes later in the isolated Remington home, a place of death and violence where depravity and horror are the norm. Led by the fearsome Richard, the undisputed head of the household, Emily discovers that the Remington’s are organizing a very special birthday party and she is the guest of honor.
When the birthday boy –the Remington’s seven-foot-tall hulk of a son appears, Emily realizes she is more than just a guest and their intentions for her are much more sinister. A tale of harrowing violence and tragedy, Monster reaches new depths of horror and cruelty as Emily fights for her life against a family which knows nothing of remorse or compassion. As the story unfolds we discover that some men are born monsters, and others are made as a product of their upbringing.
