Review: Your Monster

Tamzyn and Sam dive into Your Monster, the bold and quirky film by Caroline Lindy that puts a fresh spin on the monster movie genre.

Starring Melissa Barrera as Laura and Tommy Dewey as the titular monster, this modern mash-up of romance, comedy, and light horror follows Laura’s journey of self-discovery—with a little help from the monster in her closet.

We’ll explore the film’s Shakespearean undertones (a play within a play, anyone?), its unique feminist message, and the clever writing that brings both wit and emotional depth. Is the monster a modern-day Beauty and the Beast? Or more of a Spike from Buffy vibe? Either way, Tommy Dewey’s nuanced performance and the film’s standout chemistry between the cast leave plenty to talk about.

Your Monster is a true gem for indie film lovers and anyone seeking something delightfully different.

Tune in to hear our take, including whether this movie passes the Bechdel test, and why it’s a must-watch for fans of quirky romances and thought-provoking tales. 🎭👹

(Plus, look further in our podcast for exclusive insights from the interview with Tommy Dewey, who reveals what it’s like to bring a monster to life—prosthetics, Shakespearean love, and all! With standout performances, sharp dialogue, and a whirlwind 21-day production)
