Fans of Guillermo Del Toro’s Creature Features, This Horror Crime Thriller Might Be Your New Obsession

Guillermo del Toro is the king of weird horror. His unique vision has given fans some truly fantastical creatures; The Faun and the Pale Man from Pan’s Labyrinth, the Amphibian Man from The Shape of Water, and Hellboy from Hellboy being just a few. Creature features are del Toro’s bread and butter, but it’s rare nowadays, in an age of elevated horror, for a good old-fashioned monster movie to have a chance to shine. Such is the case for Alejandro Fadel’s 2018 Murder Me, Monster. An Argentinian film that’s gone criminally underrated due to difficulty streaming in the United States, Murder Me, Monster is a shockingly gritty horror movie that flawlessly blends its bizarre monster with grounded realism for maximum terror.
