Your Monster

The film stars Melissa Barrera, Tommy Dewey, Edmund Donovan, Kayla Foster, and Meghann Fahy.

She tries to cope after being dumped by her playwright boyfriend Jacob Sullivan, whose play she helped him write prior to their split.

Laura struggles to watch Jacob and Jackie's apparent flirtations during rehearsals, but finds solace at home with Monster.

Using his powers, Monster distracts Jacob towards a nearby trapdoor that opens and drops him to the floor below, injuring his arm.

Monster reveals he hasn't been hiding, recounting other occasions during Laura's life when he tried to help her but she barred him in the closet out of fear.

Her performance receives positive reception from the audience, but Jacob confronts her alone behind the curtains, accusing her of jealousy and selfishness.

The website's consensus reads: "A wickedly delightful genre mashup led by Melissa Barrera, Your Monster is pleasantly packed with songs, guts, and heart.

"[17] Metacritic, which uses a weighted average, assigned the film a score of 62 out of 100, based on 16 critics, indicating "generally favorable" reviews.

The multi-talented actress displays the perfect level of innocence, vulnerability, and eventually fierceness in her portrayal as Laura Franco.

Writer and director Caroline Lindy’s feature debut is remarkably assured, ostensibly retelling Beauty and the Beast, though imbued with oodles of charm, a smattering of horror gore, and a truly star-making turn from Melissa Barrera.
