Is Fadel making some comment about the struggles of South American society or history? With a little more narrative clarity, he could give Guillermo del Toro some competition in the meaningful monster stakes.

Rated: 3/5

Little White Lies

Not sure much beyond the gore endures, but this melancholic mystery sure has some frights.

The suspicion nags that there's not a lot going on beneath the sludgy storytelling.

The Upcoming

Alejandro Fadel's Murder Me, Monster is a thought-provoking and a viciously delirious thriller that morphs the murder mystery and monster movie genres together into its own horrifying and twisted entity.

Rated: 4/5

Scotsman

An array of Freudian imagery (and one very literal monster) suggest the film is exploring some kind of deep-rooted fear of female sexuality, but it's mostly baffling.

Rated: 2/5
