Monolith 2022
Smart thriller that is a little unsatisfying as it leaves a bit too much up in the air. It dips its toe into horror at times without doing anything too stupid (well, maybe the video call to Germany) and there’s a nice 80a horror moment in the final act. It’s almost entirely set in a single location and Lily Sullivan gives a very strong performance to keep the story rolling - definitely reminded of The Vast of Night at times. The mystery unravels well enough and it mostly makes sense - although I could some people getting pretty frustrated with out things pan out.
