A journalist with an obscure past investigates a series of mysterious artefacts through her podcast, leading people and gradually herself to unprecedented paranoia.
Absolutely stunning! The power of storytelling… From the epic of Gilgamesh to the present day, people tell stories about everyday societal issues to the birth of the gods and their creative and destructive forces.
Coming on strong, Monolith visually and audibly tells a story of seemingly identical objects that, once encountered, irreparably mess up people’s lives. They conquer their thoughts, distort reality, and affect them on a psychosomatic level. Monolith is a prime example of how a nano-budget film can be infinitely more effective than a tentpole. Director Matt Vesely, writer Lucy Campbell, cinematographer Michael Tessari, editor Tania Nehme and the rest of the crew bring to life sci-fi/mystery that will keep you on the edge of your seats. In front of the camera, the phenomenal Lily Sullivan, the only on-screen actress, hits the nail on the head, carrying this thrilling story on her shoulders.
There is no need to discuss technical details. Just turn off the lights, put the phone on silent, and watch it until the very end. It is a spectacular one-location narrative experience.
