This film may not be to everyone’s tastes, hard-core horror fans may be put off by the lack of gore, and I feel that some may not get the film’s dark humor. Still, this is a very original film, which has a great central performance.

The grand divide between words and deeds is given a compelling twist in A Brilliant Monster, where what you see isn’t always what you get.

This one was meant to be checked out on those cold autumn evenings, if for nothing else to simply suffice the beast in your attic.

On the plus side, this was a watchable movie by any definition. Engaging story of a man selling his soul for success by way of a nasty monster...

A Brilliant Monster is a cut above many creaky low-budget under-the-radar indies. It's confident and genuinely cinematic despite its apparent lack of visual ambition and it's shot through with jet black humour.

There is certainly a lot to admire in A Brilliant Monster, with its stellar cast and stirring directing. But the rich visuals don't overcome the story's shortcomings, with the film being rendered confusing and pointless at the end.

Wow! This film is amazing. And with what’s happening in Hollywood right now it’s aging very well. Ahead of its time!
