The Monster Project Trailers

When aspiring horror filmmakers post an online casting call looking for "real life" monsters to interview for their upcoming documentary called, The Monster Project, they find three individuals claiming to be a skin-walker, a vampire, and a demon. Meeting these monsters at a remote mansion in the woods on the night of a total lunar eclipse, the filmmakers invite the three subjects to share their haunting, personal experiences. Working on the crew is a recovering drug addict who suffers withdrawal and paranoia. As a person of faith, he fears his friends underestimate the dark powers they are summoning. When the interviews turn deadly, he must battle the demons, inside and out, to escape the house and defeat the rise of evil incarnate.

If the ambition is to provide two hours of instantly forgettable, popcorn-munching escapism, it succeeds.

There are moments in this movie where the great movie it could've been peek out... They're fleeting, here, but they're worth savoring, and they happen often enough to make it worth your while.

Monster Project has an interesting concept, it's a found footage horror film about a group of annoying characters that want to interview people that think they're real monsters. However things get complicated when the three people they're interviewing are actual monsters. The middle of the film is definitely the best part, where they explore the haunted house where they're conducting the interviews, and then do the actual interviews. I enjoyed a lot of the things they did with the interviews, as they play around with the rules of the monsters. The problem parts of the film come before and after that, with the beginning being full of annoying and pointless character drama delivered by mediocre to bad actors. The worst being the camera man, which is one of the biggest sins a found footage film can have, as no one likes having an annoying guy talking off screen (and obviously in a sound booth) while everything's going on. The movie after the interviews is also deeply flawed, as a lot of monster rules set up during the interview are immediately broken. With the vampire going from a tattoo artist that licks her canvas's blood as part of her payment, to being a mindless beast. The skinwalker is also turned immediately into a generic werewolf, with the generic characteristics including a scratch turning the victim into a werewolf, even though the film went out of it's way to describe how someone becomes a skinwalker (murdering a family member). The CGI for the girl possessed by a demon is also really bad and distracting. I won't spoil the end, but I will say that it's also incredibly stupid, and there's a stupid Bagul scare at the very end.Overall, I'd advise people to stay away from Monster Factory unless you're a huge Found Footage Horror fan.

I honestly cannot find it in myself to ever watch this movie ever again. I would rather eat something rotten that gives me horrendous diarrhea and sit on the toilet for 24 hours than endure this movie's hour and a half run-time again.In terms of the acting, the only one who I felt did a good job was Yvonne Zima who plays Shayla the Vampire. Her interview in the movie was the best.Besides that, the only other good thing I can say about this film was the slight plot twist which I honestly didn't see coming. Yet I contribute not seeing it coming to the fact that I was too busy focusing on the garbage that was presented in front of me.The CGI looked like it came straight from SnapChat filters. The "scares" were cheap and dumb. The movie starts off with one, but that doesn't really count and then the rest of the "scares" don't come in until about 53 minutes in. The movie is 98 minutes long. Meaning that it doesn't start the "scares" until about 54% of the way in. From that point on, you can imagine what happens: scares, scares, shaky camera work, lots of running, scares. And of course, because the CGI was completely laughable, not once did I feel scared. My heartbeat didn't even rise.The one scene that probably infuriated me the most is that they place the camera on the ground to fight one of the monsters and we don't see this happening. Instead, we're shown a shadow puppet theater of it happening. That's right: we see it from the shadows fighting off and stabbing the monster. Seriously? You give us the usual bad shaking camera perspective and then can't even show us what's truly happening.Just a plain bad film overall. Would not recommend for ANYONE to watch.

I first saw this film advertised on the IMDb homepage so decided to check it out after finding the trailer really interesting. Ever since the Blair Witch Project the hand held 'real life' camera method has always given the film an air of mystery as we don't always tend to see what the character sees. However, I can assure you this film is different and doesn't just build up anti-climatic suspense. The film contains a group of adults wanting to make a documentary about different kinds of monsters to bump up views for their YouTube page when they're contacted by volunteers to give interviews, whilst the crew initially brush the claims off as ridiculousness, they soon start to change their beliefs.The premise is interesting and the film starts that way too even if it is a little slow to get into. A film like this shouldn't really go over the 80 minute mark but what you gonna do?There are a few jump scares and once the 'chaos' kicks in it does get really intense. The first 2/3 of the film are the most suspenseful and intriguing parts but come the final third act, we are left with that unfulfilling feeling of emptiness and predictability that these camcorder films tend to conjure up. Overall, its a fun little film to watch with your friends on a weekend night for a few scares, but it's not a film that will leave a trace in your memory. 5/10
