Video Movie Review: LOVE AND MONSTERS (2020): It doesn’t feature a lot of Love, Monsters, but lots of Drama

Love and Monsters Review

Love and Monsters (2020) Video Movie Review, a movie directed by Michael Matthews, written by Brian Dufdield and Matthew Robinson, and stars Dylan O’Brien, Jessica Henwick, Michael Rooker, Ariana Greenblatt, Te Kohe Tuhaka, Dan Ewing, Donnie Baxter, Ellen Hollman, Damien Garvey, Tandi Wright, Amali Golden, Tasneem Roc, Miriama Smith, and Te Kohe Tuhaka.

From FilmBook writer Andrew Toy written review for Love and Monsters:

In the end, Love and Monsters doesn’t feature a lot of love, monsters, but lots of drama. There is more love and chemistry in Sleepless in Seattle and the two leads in that film didn’t physically meet until the last minute of the movie.

Love and Monsters should be much quirkier and edgier than it actually is. It felt like writers Brian Duffield and Matthew Robinson had this steampunk vibe in mind for their film but Paramount Pictures wanted it to be much more traditional and bland.

Because of the on-going pandemic, Love and Monsters has a definite ‘beat Covid-19 and get out of your house’ vibe, like, ‘go live your life even-though there’s danger and viruses everywhere.’ I applaud that sub-textual sentiment within the film, though I doubt its writers knew that a pandemic would be in full swing when this film was eventually released.

Love and Monsters‘ plot synopsis: “Seven years after the Monsterpocalypse, Joel Dawson (Dylan O’Brien), along with the rest of humanity, has been living underground ever since giant creatures took control of the land. After reconnecting over radio with his high school girlfriend Aimee (Jessica Henwick), who is now 80 miles away at a coastal colony, Joel begins to fall for her again. As Joel realizes that there’s nothing left for him underground, he decides against all logic to venture out to Aimee, despite all the dangerous monsters that stand in his way.”
