It’s really hard to describe this movie, and looking at the trailer, I can’t help but say it looks pretty awesome. Looking to combine good old fashioned apocalypse with some zombie horde behavior, Monsters appears to be the type of film that got me into zombies in the first place. Note, you can find the trailer by the following the link below.

So what are the monsters? I’m not quite sure. The trailer does an excellent job at concealing the hungry beasts, and while some of them looks to be of Godzilla proportions, I’m guessing from the giant “INFECTED AREA” signs means that this parasite crosses over to people as well.

Yeah, so what’s it about? Here’s what I managed to dig up:

Six years ago NASA discovered the possibility of alien life within our solar system. A probe was launched to collect samples, but crashed upon re-entry over Central America. Soon after, new life forms began to appear and grow. In an effort to stem the destruction that resulted, half of Mexico was quarantined as an INFECTED ZONE. Today, the American and Mexican military still struggle to contain the massive creatures… Our story begins when a jaded US journalist (McNairy) begrudgingly agrees to find his boss’ daughter, a shaken American tourist (Able) and escort her through the infected zone to the safety of the US border.

Monsters looks to be following Survival of the Dead’s footsteps by first playing on the web before hitting the theaters in October. The movie will be playing on iTunes, XBox Live, Playstation Network, Amazon, and Vudu so if you have an internet connection not powered by a hamster, you should be able to catch this.

Cool stuff. I’m hoping the movie will live up to the trailer. Finger’s crossed.
