Writer Matt Shaw is making his directorial debut with Monster, based on the bestselling book by the same name. The book, which topped Amazon’s horror charts, is one of 200 titles penned by Shaw. Today we have the film’s first poster.
Being described as a cross between “The Texas Chainsaw and NaturalBorn Killers”, Monster stars Tracy Shaw (Coronation Street), Rod Glenn (American Assassins), Danielle Harold (EastEnders and Fanged Up), and Laura Ellen Wilson.
In Monster, “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.”
