'Monster' ~ A Film by Jennifer Kent
Click on the image above to visit the iFilm.com presentation of "Monster."

Isolation, imagination, fear and family are the ingredients for Jennifer Kent's dark fantasy about how a single mother and her precocious son find the courage to protect each other from a singularly dreadful frightener.

Written and directed by Jennifer Kent, "Monster" won the Audience Favorite Award and the Ellen Award for distinctive achievement at the Aspen Shortfest of 2005.

Ms Kent graduated from Australia's National Institute of Dramatic Art with a degree in Performing Arts in 1991.

 
Her nine minute black & white gem is genuinely creepy, frightening and yet ultimately endearing.

Susan Prior as the weary mother of a hyperkinetic little boy is appropriately maternal yet undenyably sexy in a totally natural, believable way. Luke Ikimis-Healy as her son is irresistible, and the monster is a perfect mix of Brothers Grimm and modern-day horror.

We invite you to to turn out the lights, get comfortable, and enjoy Monster.
