Love and Monsters: Netflix’s goofy and occasionally spectacular wee film

[ad_1]

REVIEW: Love and Monsters didn’t get a big screen release in New Zealand that I know of.

It was a 2020 release, so I guess Covid nixed any chance of that. But even on a small screen, this is a goofy and occasionally spectacular wee film, that I’m glad is available to see, even on a small screen.

Love and Monsters is set seven years into the “monsterpocalypse”. Fall-out from mankind’s shooting down of a killer-asteroid has mutated all the Earth’s cold-blooded creatures and now the surviving humans live in hiding, while waiting for a near-inevitable and very unpleasant death via a giant cockroach or something similar.

Love and Monsters is a warm-hearted, properly funny and very likeable film. If you were a fan of Zombieland, you'll appreciate the humour here.

Joel is separated from his girlfriend Aimee, but, learning where she is, he sets out on a lone-quest to be with her. Stuff happens.

Dylan O’Brien (Bumblebee) and Jessica Henwick (Glass Onion) are terrific leads – and director Michael Matthews knew exactly how to balance the laughs with the scares. Recommended.

Love and Monsters is now available to stream on Netflix.
