  • This man lies. This movie IS a must watch for anyone who loves atmosphere. The monsters barely appear, but are always present. Let me ask you something. What is scarier? The alien chasing you that you have outrun six times now, or shot and killed 20 of, or the monster who kills EVERYONE around you, without more then an arm reach from the trees? What is scarier? Fighting for your life... or Not being able to fight against the unknown which seeks to take it? Give it a watch, an amazing piece.

  • Has anyone noticed how much he sounds like Tobuscus?

  • @FormalRevolutionary they worked together for a few months im sure they got something from eachother, plus they both are still in touch w/ each other

  • @legomastr1 Did not know.

  • @FormalRevolutionary Oh god! I thought that too XD

  • this movie was sooooo boring

  • Hey Guys do a review on Salo or the 120 day of Sodom I've never ever seen a You Tube review of it and it's the most controversial films ever and there's rumors that the reason Paolo Pasolini was murdered because he made this flick

  • DISTRICT 9 IS DUH BEST ALIEN MOVIE!!!!!!

  • I had forgotten that this had been one of the first 'movie club' movies that was reviewed until I just watched it. I thought it was an excellent movie, if for no other reason than the incredible soundtrack by Jon Hopkins. I just recently discovered him, which led to watching this movie in the first place.

  • That movie was SO FUCKING BAD !

  • Watching Monsters, you can tell that so much effort and love was put into the making of it. It definitely shows all throughout. I like the way there isn't "sufficient monster action", because you get the idea that the whole point of the film and what the people were going through wasn't all about the creatures they had to face. Though it sounds hokey, it's totally valid, and I adore this movie for all that it stands for.

  • @ibreatheinthesky Well it's why I hate the new, 28 Days Later knock off version, of Dawn of The Dead. The old one had zombies yes, but the movie was less about them, and more about the survivors. Too many movies today in the horror genre sadly are all about "oooo look! Neat Monster Design" rather then pacing. Dawn of The Dead (org) was different, in that it stressed the chaos, and how Biker Gangs for example, had their own army since only those who could fight, had any chance of surviving.

  • why is a love story called ''monsters'' ?? I expected something else from this movie... 3/10

  • the movie suck. your review was on point

  • the movie suck. your reveiw was on point

  • I thought the aliens were completely irrelevant to the entire movie. Instead of using aliens, use the Cartel or something, I don't know. I know it's a short budget, but at least include more alien action if you are going to use the title Monsters.

  • @Illier1 (Spoilers) Who were the monsters? The being just living their life like any natural creature? Or the humans who opened fire first on these wild animals? The aliens were not violent killers, they were just wild animals trying to survive, that just so happened to be better at it then any other animal on our planet.... kinda like us! ya get it!?

  • I loved that such a great film could be made with such a low-budget.

  • dude you remind me of ask a ninja but without the ninja clothing

  • i liked it a lot i thought it was liek really good

  • Really Bad film its like you said not enough monsters you see like 1 throughout the whole film :/

  • i didnt like it in my opinion but the crazy lady that randomly screams things is funny

  • Monsters is a kak movie! Don't waste ur time!

  • i just watched monsters!

  • I thought this was shit...Fair enough if the box and review hadn't said 'Action Packed'. If it was advertised as an emotional film then i would have watched it in a different frame of mind.

  • @yunzhisun remember this?

  • Orange box on the left <3

  • A Single Man. A must watch movie!

  • this. was. fucking. amazing. best. movie. evar.

  • stuff my vagina like a dank squash! rofl

  • it doesnt work on my Atari ST =(

  • "oh hey it's godzilla....lets just avoid godzilla" LMAO!

  • @pancakes4dinner1 lmfao :L

  • i like it alot.

  • I've met the guy who directed this, he put so much work into this film and it really shows. I love this film.

  • There are always way too many borders in the world. Also Ponyo likes really cute, I am going to go watch it now and if it isn't cute it will saden me very much so

  • i loves Ponyo! it was such a cute movie :)

  • I watched this movie mainly because there was a similar hype put into it as district nine which I felt was an awesome movie. After watching it I do feel that the quality of the video itself is great, but the storyline was almost utter crap. It seems as if the story writer had initially just wanted a story about the monsters, but was asked to throw in the couple at the end, maybe when he found he couldn't get anyone to support it and had to rework the idea for low budget.

  • I watched this movie a couple weeks ago @ I was disappointed that it was inaccurate when it came to setting. 1) the scenes in Northern Mexico are in a dense vegetation, rural area you think if when you think of SOUTHERN Mexico. I looked into it and it turns out the movie was filmed in Guatemala, which does not help Mexico's true image of a modern, NOT rural and poverty stricken country as it is depicted in Monsters. Also, it's a wonder how so many references to Guatemala are allowed on the movi

  • Movie*

  • I watched this movir before i saw this video and i thought it was great

  • You should watch An American Crime.

  • @tankgirl21 thats a messed up movie...

  • @pancakes4dinner1 yeah it is. It made me soooo pissed off

  • @bangx3schnitzel Hard candy! Good call!

  • I love it when people say a movie like this is the worst movie they've ever seen, and then they back that statement up with "Oh, well it's my opinion. There's no wrong opinion!!"

    And yes, that is true, but there are such things as BAD opinions... :X

  • phil I have to say that this new netflix movie review is allowing me to find more reasons not to do homework.

  • @DVV9 Ignore my last comment. I was talking about District 9. Silly me.

  • @DVV9 I didn't know there was a book...but I really didn't like the movie. I mean it honestly is terribly depressing and nothing really good happens at all. Sure, life sucks and it's not fair, but it isn't that bad.

  • @bangx3schnitzel HARD CANDY WAS AWESOME I THOUGHT

  • i thought monsters was decent

  • Watch the forth kind

  • @bangx3schnitzel Fear and loathing in las vegas is so awesome :p

  • @KrocketAnimations can you explain why fear and loathing is so awesome? is it because the whole movie is about a drug bender and has no plot or did you actually read the book?

  • @DVV9 Just the fact that it had no plot whatsoever and that it was actually a pointless movie made it funny to me. The whole time I was expecting something to happen which would eventually turn out to create some kind of storyline, but it didn't. It was mostly the thought of 'what am I watching here?' that made it funny to watch. Also, the narration in the background was pretty genius ;) I'm not claiming it was the best movie ever, but I found it enjoyable to watch.

  • Sounds a lot like District 9 which means it probably sucks and is terrible, I will skip it.

  • @MizerisMoney district 9 was fucking amazing

  • @kxlover26 An amazing piece of shit, yes. Okay, it's not shit.. but it's not good either, and is packed with plotholes, it is average at best, but is severly overhyped which makes it suffer.

  • Bronson

  • HEY PHIL, listen dude... I'm Mexican and iv never picked fruits, I'm a vegetable farmer... I think we all deserve recognition... any way, I did like the movie and it does point out an alternate reality very comparable to present issues that need attention and not a big ass wall.

  • This movie is really terrible. The horrible lead actors and sloppy/pretentious script overpower any basic technical capabilities the director shows. Just watch District 9 instead. Amazingly, the allegory in District isn't nearly as heavy handed or ineffective as it is in Monsters. Thanks Gareth Edwards. Now independent films can suck as much as studio funded films.

  • that was the best acting i have ever seen :P 

  • This movie looks beautiful. But the characters and the story sucks ass. They have a big wall around the US border... with a huge gap in it. And then they are wondering why the monsters got into USA LOL

  • pleasseeeee watch MARTYRS!!!!1

  • Monsters is a movie with 2 people walking and walking and walking.

    It's Lord of the Rings with aliens

  • the movie did have some issues but generally speaking we liked it. the end did bum us out a bit, but hey every movie can't have that happy disney ending right? by the way message to phil ...love your show.

  • I saw that warning spoilers ahead sing but i just couldn't bring myself to pause it

  • great movie

  • the real horror starts when the idiot who uploaded this video shows up his ugly face

  • Awesome movie

  • what movies is that @ 2:13

  • @PRINCEADE9 that was a little part from the beginning of the movie. its a really short part which is technically the end but is shown @ the beginning

  • I reeeeeeeeeeally liked Battle: L.A.!!!!!!

  • @Lrhs111 Dude human centipede was like watching a children movie compared to A Serbian Film. It wasnt that bad

  • I loved this movie, but it's just not for kids who want to see explosions and aliens. If you want that, go watch PowerRangers.

  • @bangx3schnitzel jizzhut.com has a great selection of previews bless jesus

  • Hard Candy!

    Or Pulse..

    

  • Why would being in the midst mentally and emotionally of all the "rawness" help anyone? I would rather not know and be blissfully ignorant than to be aware of something I can do nothing about.

  • I love The Chumscrubber! I am so glad that I am not the only one who loves that movie!

  • Favrouite Movies:

    Momento

    Dark Knight

    Second Hand Lions

    Troy (for some senceless violence and schtuff)

    Starwars A New Hope

  • I watched this film, it was as good as being shit can be..

  • You should watch Smokin' Aces

  • @Lrhs111 he already did...

  • When I saw this in the movie theater, 5 people walked out.

  • @Lrhs111 It was a joke. I'm sorry if I hurt your feelings.

  • i love YO face!

  • @Lrhs111 Too late.

  • I interviewed the director last week. Really nice guy. The film is more impressive when you realise how it was made.

  • I will see the movie....must...see...movie (retarded voice)

  • Phil you and many other people need to steer away from using the word soldier to describe our TROOPS. Soldier only describes members of the Army, and yes its the biggest branch of the military but there are hundreds of thousands of other members, including Airmen, Sailors, and Marines. All clearly describing which branch they are from- which are all VERY different in policies, culture, and traditions.

    TROOPS describes them all. It is insulting to call a Marine a Soldier.

  • @timgoat556 You'd Think after ALL that Training and Rank that People Would Recognize it...But no, We're Soldiers :/ Clearly not Marines.....

  • Watched this last week and enjoyed

    It. Check out Freaked.

  • SOMEONE PLEASE RECOMMEND "THE ROOM" I DONT KNOW HOW

    THANK YOU

  • @Lrhs111 he watched it

  • I actually liked the movie Monsters, I just feel like they misrepresented it. It wasn't an alien movie, it was a drama. But of course, no one would have watched it if they had sold it as a drama.

  • I just finished this movie, and when it ended, I was like ".....wut?"

  • @Lrhs111

    Yeah. . . if you're a pussy bitch.

  • @Lrhs111 You're a horror noob.

  • So I guess the moral is that we are the real monsters after all. Or that they just gave that title to sell a shit movie.

  • why were you standing in an alley for 2 hours

  • so i head you leik movies with walls... watch DOOMSDAY!!!!!

  • ...wait.... they jizz on trees?

  • @Lrhs111 well then you do not want to look at day 7

  • SAY WHEN THERE WILL BE SPOILERS.

  • @SamColson4 oh yer, beacuse the giant flashing spoilers sign doesn't tip you off at all.

  • @SamColson4 Pretty sure he made it clear that there were spoilers coming.

  • psh. Primer was made for like 6 grand.

  • I agree... doable... but not a must watch..

    Not much happens.. but I made my own justification for having spent the time.. and it was similar to yours.. so perhaps the director intended it... iehter way - it is a little slow moving.

  • Fucking worst movie ever

  • @Lrhs111 that movie sucked it wasent even scary xd

  • i love your movie reviews!

  • city of god is a great movie like some dude below said...its brazilian....soooooo well rated and commented and produced and everything...subtitltes for a change!!!!!

    lol(not for me, i'm brazilian haha)...expecting ur thoughts on the prestige...a very good movie for me...when i started paying attention on christopher nolan...

  • the "OMG MONSTERS!" comment was kinda ruined by his smile while he's saying it lmao

  • you look slimmer! good work

  • This movie sucked you could have taken out all the aliens and still get the same movie

  • MONSTERS SUCKED!!!!!!!!!!!! I REALLY HATED MYSELF FOR WASTING MY TIME ON IT. TOTAL LET DOWN. :(

  • @rockbutt123 THEN TYPE IN ALL CAPS BECAUSE YOU WANT PEOPLE CARE ABOUT YOU!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

  • @MrEightyGig hahahahahahhah, there does make you feel better little baby, or should i say, the internet grammer police? HAHAHHHAHAHA

  • Pretty good job on the review. I usually depend on IMDB for my movie reviews when figuring out good movies to watch. You put things in to a slightly more interesting perspective. Thanks. Also, you should review the movie called Last Night.

  • what did the monsters look like?

  • you're a great critic

  • also, watch Black Dynamite.

  • kinda pissed i didn't get a spoiler warning, hadn't watched the movie yet, now I don't I will

  • @Crissix100 r u serious or r u just joking about the spoiler thing

  • @Lrhs111 It was hot as.

  • dimples!

  • this movie was okay. i think i'm with you and i see both reasons to like it and reasons to not

  • the movie was ok but not great

  • please please please watch birdemic; joel mchale from the soup recommends it just for the boardroom scene. OR please watch Black DYNAMITE because it is AWESOME

  • Looks.... A lot like District 9.

    Are they comparable?

  • Greattttt

  • you should watch dead snow, great indie zombie movie, some great kills, there are some that i watched over and over again, no fantastic acting but regardless very fun movie.

  • @greyfox496 no thats brotherhood

  • Heavy Metal, original.

  • Did... did... Did I see red dead on phil's desk!?! o_0

  • @Lrhs111 No it won't, you're just a pussy.

  • @Lrhs111 when I saw the trailer for that movie I thought it was a joke..

  • @NemoBogdan

    thats not the ending at all, you fail shut up and stop talking shit, the movie is actually good the ending is unexpected.

  • I think it's pretty clear that ***SPOILER*** the chick dies when the last monster attacks and even if she doesn't they get left behind and blown up by the military.. I hate movies where all the main characters die right at the very end after going through all that crap, like ***SPOILER AGAIN !!! *** Cloverfield. They have got to stop killing the main characters at the very end of monster movies for dramatic effect, it has become predictable and annoying. :|

  • why did the other guy run TOWARDS where phil was pointing supposedly at the monster?

  • @Lrhs111 He already did.

  • Everyone only died because of the stupid government bombing! I was like WTF GOVERNMENT!

  • We should totally get married!

  • loving the DA2 disk in the background :D

  • Look its rocco from Mega 64 at the beginning of the vlog

  • Arriba las manos!!! Saca tus papeles y tu dinero!!! pinche gringo puto!!!

    hahahaha!!! dude your gov, sales visas so we don't need your stinky ass papers and / or money!!! but funny comment wey!! cool channel i like it FTFNation!!

  • FUCK!!!!!!!!! i got netflix in canada, and this movie isnt offered

  • No, Mexican people really do that.

  • OK Can you say Spoiler Alert!!

  • The movie was good, i really enjoyed it. I have to say, i loved the link between the beggining and the end. It ended up rewatching it though, just so i caught everything.

  • This might be off topic, but...is that The Orange Box on your desk? :D

  • Movie was meh... I get that it was low budget, but saying that movie was awesome for the little money it took to make it doesn't make it any more or less enjoyable. It was what it is and Im not going to follow the trend where its cool to automatically like low budget movie. I think its ultimately up to the viewer. Some low budget films i love and some I hate... the same goes for big budget films. This one was somewhere in the middle between like and dislike. just ... meh

  • A spoiler alert would have been nice.

  • My friend made us watch this, and I went home

  • I watched this movie the other night before I knew about this movie club. For a low-budget movie, it was an honorable effort, but I really don't think it's worth the time. The premise was very good but the movie was more about the relationship of the two characters than anything else. And that didn't flesh out completely either.

  • attack from mars!

  • Monsters sucked ha

  • at like 5:00 you had a really good, emotional, deep point... I mean, you always do, amongst the other shit (:

    I don't know, gotta love you and your show haha.

  • I enjoyed it, I just wanted a better ending (more clear)

  • Due Date -- Hilarious hilarious movie. Zach and Robert Downy Jr are incredible.

    It's Kind of a Funny story - I haven't seen it, so I want to see it with you!!

    uhhhhh

    Shutter Island - If you haven't seen it, you better

    and one I BELIEVE is called Good Charlotte or I'm just thinking of the band... it's a movie about a woman who goes behind enemy lines in WWII in attempts to find her lover and things change a little. It's emotional haha. Them old movies (:

    Love ya phil, hope this gets voted up

    

  • phil your like robert frost lol

  • I have requested this twice already but, I really think you should watch Hard Candy

  • not that good.....
