Critic Reviews for A Brilliant Monster

All Critics (6) | Fresh (5) | Rotten (1)

This one was meant to be checked out on those cold autumn evenings, if for nothing else to simply suffice the beast in your attic.

Matt Boiselle
Dread Central
A no-budget horror comedy that occasionally rises to "clever," but falls well short of "Brilliant."

February 10, 2019 | Rating: 1.5/4 | Full Review…

Roger Moore
Movie Nation
On the plus side, this was a watchable movie by any definition. Engaging story of a man selling his soul for success by way of a nasty monster...

Norman Gidney
Film Threat
A metaphor rich, character driven horror-drama that is both relevant and thought provoking.

Matt's Movie Reviews
A Brilliant Monster is a cut above many creaky low-budget under-the-radar indies. It's confident and genuinely cinematic despite its apparent lack of visual ambition and it's shot through with jet black humour.

Paul Mount

There is certainly a lot to admire in A Brilliant Monster, with its stellar cast and stirring directing. But the rich visuals don't overcome the story's shortcomings, with the film being rendered confusing and pointless at the end.
