The Plot…

A divorced mother and her young daughter are driving through remote woods one stormy evening.  When a wolf crosses their path, they wreck.  The wolf is killed.  The car axel is busted.  Stranded and alone, they call for a tow truck.

They don’t know that a monster is watching and ready for his next meal.

Thoughts (beware of spoilers)…

The Monster was originally titled There Are Monsters.

I made it through the film.  Barely.  I’m giving it a two star rating for that reason, but it almost earned a 1.  As always, your mileage may vary.

The Monster (2016) rates 2 of 5 stars.
