A genuine romance between a young, smart woman and the monster living in her closet.
Heartbroken and diagnosed with cancer, Laura finds herself forced to move back into her old family apartment only to discover the monster from her childhood still living in her closet! A tenuous living arrangement between two displeased parties slowly morphs into something more sweet as they discover their true selves.
Subverting both the romcom and the monster-in-the-closet subgenre, Caroline Lindy’s extraordinary Your Monster is a rare sweet concoction that never forgets its horror roots. Fans of the Beauty and the Beast TV series from the 90’s will find much to enjoy in a film that wears its references proudly on its sleeve. Featuring a fantastic central performance from Melissa Barrera, this fun flick certainly is a breath of much-needed fresh air in today’s genre cinema, and at the heart of it all is a monster that’s charming and deadly in equal measure. Real love thrives in unexpected places after all.
