What happens when three murderous vixens come up against the Kraken? Well If Stuart Simpson has anything to do with it, there will be blood!

Monstro! A low budget film by Stuart Simpson is a simple story with a grind-house / early Tarantino feel and aesthetic.

This bizarre film follows ‘Beretta’ (Nelli Scarlet) a tough as nails leader who knows how to keep her girls happy.  ‘Blondie’ (Karli Madden) a nasty piece of work who has mastered the blade and finally ‘Snowball’ (Kate Watts) the sexiest of the trio with the ability to slice and dice with no regret.

At the opening of the film we see the trio in their murderous ways, which leads them to hide out in a small beach side community.

Here they meet locals ‘Hannah’ (Kyrie Capri) and her grandfather who have both lost family to the sea creature.  The grandfather warns the trio not to enter the water but being the rebellious murderers they are, ignore the old man and jump right in.

This leads to the arrival of ‘The Kraken’ and some rather laughable but entertaining CGI along with a chance at redemption for ‘Hannah’ and her grandfather.

Simpson has created a highly stylised film which begins in black and white and converges into colour with spurting blood and gore, he uses a large mixture of jump cuts and low angles to keep the film interesting and captures the Australian countryside in a great way.  The film makes the most of its low tech CGI but unfortunately lacks in the more important acting and storyline areas.

A great nod to films of the grind-house era but a film that just simply doesn’t stand out on its own.
