MONOLITH is an upcoming sci-fi thriller starring the talented Lilly Sullivan (Evil Dead Rise), set to release on Friday, February 16th! Written by Lucy Campbell, and directed by Matt Vesely, you can check out the synopsis, and full trailer for the film below!
“While trying to salvage her career, a disgraced journalist begins investigating a strange conspiracy theory. However, as the trail leads uncomfortably close to home, she’s left to grapple with the lies at the heart of her own story.”
MONOLITH is a unique beast. It was shot in just one singular location, and it stars only one actress, Lilly Sullivan. I was honestly a little bit skeptical at first. This trailer has me sold, though. I definitely want to see what Lilly Sullivan brings to the table this time. Especially after her stellar performance in Evil Dead Rise. She’ll have her work cut out for her, but I really don’t think she’ll have any problem carrying this film on her back. She definitely has the acting chops for it. We’ll see how she does with nobody to play off of.
The trailer really does a good job of creating palpable tension, and it left me thirsty for answers. I’m just hoping the movie can keep up the same pacing. What do you think? Fully contained to one location, can the film really be thrilling, suspenseful, and entertaining? Is it too much to put on the shoulders of one actress alone? Let us know in the comment section! It’s a dangerous gamble, but it looks like this time, it might actually work! Fingers crossed.
At least we won’t have to wait for too long to find out, either way. You can watch Monolith in theatres, or on Digital on Demand starting Friday, February 16th. Courtesy of Well Go USA!
