Monsters (2025)

Name: Monsters
Director: Jan Těšitel
Released: 2025

A small town somewhere in the north. The body of a brutally murdered young girl, Anna, is found by the river. The investigation is taken up by the determined criminalist Laura Linhartová (Kristýna Ryška), and her old colleague Adam Beneš (Kryštof Hádek) is assigned to her. The main suspect is a recently convicted perpetrator who is responsible for a similar murder. Just when it seems that the search for Anna's murderer is over, new evidence appears that brings the whole case back to the beginning. The criminalists thus embark on a complicated investigation full of unexpected twists and turns. The circle of suspects in the small town expands dramatically. The tension between Laura and Adam rises, not to mention their different characters and shared past. And the question still hangs in the air: Who killed Anna Pittnerová?

What critics compared Monsters to

Hellboy II: The Golden Army (2008)

Directed by Guillermo del Toro

Plot

Godzilla rouses to fight a pair of monsters seeking a place to mate (an interest Edwards ports over from his own Monsters ), and Edwards even gives the "mother" beast a moment that reminds a great deal of the pitiful death of the Earth Elemental in Hellboy II .

War of the Worlds (2005)

Directed by Steven Spielberg

Visuals

With Gareth Edwards, director of the low budget, indie monster movie “Monsters,” at the helm, Godzilla is transformed into a large-scale disaster movie that takes cues from Steven Spielberg’s “Jurassic Park” and his “War of the Worlds” remake where the fantastic is always grounded in reality with much of the tension created by the human characters experiencing the destruction caused by these massive creatures.
