I think the movie was pretty low budget, which leads me to believe it's going to be talky, and more of an indictment on the US Immigration policy than it is a monster movie. I hope I'm wrong, because I would love for it to be good.<!--QuoteEnd--><!--QuoteEEnd-->
It's tough to say, and these ultra low-budget indies (except for the foreign variety) are almost never my cup of tea, unless they are groundbreaking in some way or visually off the wall, but I've been impressed with the across the board praise that Monsters has gotten so far, even in sci-fi/horror circles. Then again, so did House of the Devil last year, and that movie was a gigantic letdown for me, and am convinced that most of the critics out there were being paid to say they loved it.
