This looks intriguing, and reminds me I really need to go watch District 9 at some point.

I watched District 9 at the weekend and really enjoyed it. Well worth a watch (as whoot would say ;-) )

Saw Monsters at EIFF. It`s really good and was apparently shot with just the Director on camera (a Sony EX3) a Sound Recordist and Producer. The Director did most of the CGI himself.

It works more as a sort of apocalyptic road movie romance (the chemistry is real, the two actors got married just this year). It`s a stunning example of ultra low budget filmmaking. Whether the figure of $15,000 budget is true or not, it was filmed with next to no money (I`d guess it got a boost in post-production somewhere down the line).

So yeah, well worth a watch, it never feels like anything less than a well produced sci-fi film, leagues ahead of a lot of TV stuff.

Just watched this - thought it was fantastic.  Frightening to see what pretty much one guy is capable of.
Fantastic soundtrack too - very atmospheric.
WWAW! :)
