Details of the 2012 Cambridge Film Festival will appear here shortly

Almost indescribably director Gareth Edwards has managed to merge the indie road movie with tentacled abominations! After a space probe breaks up upon re-entry, Mexico has become a quarantine zone. Interrupted from his brief to document events, photographer Andrew (McNairy) is tasked to bring the daughter of his boss back to the US. But when they miss the last boat out the decision is made to go the overland route - right through alien central. Special effects pro Edwards shot MONSTERS from the hip across Latin America by mixing his cast up with the locals whilst continually sparing a thought towards what could be tweaked in post-production. The outcome is the most naturalistic performances in a monster movie you will ever see.
