Six years ago previously, a NASA probe returning to earth with samples of an alien life form, crashed over Central America. Soon after, new life forms began to appear, and half of Mexico was quarantined as an INFECTED ZONE. Today, the American and Mexican military still struggle to contain "the creatures"... The story begins when a US journalist agrees to escort a shaken American tourist through the infected zone in Mexico to the safety of the US border.

they just love shuffling/shoveling those NWO topics, don't they? think FEMA camps, alien conspiracy/invasion (stephen hawking as the latest addition to it), north american union allusions (usa & mexico joint efforts), martial law, fear/terror/panic (oddly enough its not even listed as horror) and the like

as for the movie itself, looks somewhere between decent & low budget, with a nasty habit of hiding the monsters, shaky camera & way too dark overtones, with a thin story and virtually meaningless characters...no reason to keep one's hopes high with this one

I saw this movie yesterday. I really liked it, although it wasn't THAT good.
This movie is all about...

Spoiler not a spoiler, but tells you what to look for in the movie.:

...its title, what "monsters" means, what they do to people and the world; and who these monsters are. Once the movie is finished, you will understand it all....

Saw it and was a bit dissaponted....i mean, i know it was supposed to be centered on the characters and not on the actual monsters but at times it felt like it aimed to be a action movie also...the final gas station scene was out of place if you ask me. There are good indie movies (see Splinter or the latest TRoll Hunter), there are a lot of bad ones (pfff don't even get me started) and then there's movies like this one....spoof and they're over.
