Cinema Crazed

The film has a bunch of potential but wastes all of it by having many logical holes. This is possibly one of the most frustrating films of the year so far.

Rated: 2/5

...a decent setup that's employed to terrifically terrible and flat-out interminable effect by filmmaker Ivan Silvestrini...

Rated: .5/4

Monolith is, from start to finish, a nightmarish road trip through maternal angst, with the titular car proving merely the vehicle for a more psychological journey.

Terrible movie. Sandra was very stupid and there were so many opportunities to save the baby. If she wasn't so stupid, this movie would be 5 minutes long. This review was written as of 7/15/21

a fairly flat, banal film with an original plot but very similar to many other movies where people get trapped. Despite this, however, the film puts enough tension

KNIGHT RIDDANCE Cool car movie alert. Ok, so there goes half the audience, but wait, there's a young mother at the wheel. Welcome back everyone. Actually, the car in question, the Monolith, is a bit of an unsexy black SUV tank. The ultimate safety and protection transportation tech device, with total auto driving capabilities. Kinda like a panic room on wheels. What could go wrong? Plenty as it turns out, as not long after introductions we have a major woman vs. machine conflict. Sounds juicy, but unfortunately the execution fails to meet the setup. Mom is out of her element, er Monolith while her little toddler is locked inside. Hoo boy, wait till the mother in law hears about this. How all this plays out is rather pedantic, with none of the necessary hair raising chills or nervous comedic moments such a story should deliver. Neat idea, but not much more, and Stephen King's "Christine" already nailed this premise long ago. - hipCRANK PS: of the seven photos posted on Tomatoes, only one is from the movie [hint: it's the one with the car!]

Rated 2.5 out of 5 stars
