Making Monsters

After premiering at the SXSW festival in Austin, Texas during March, Gareth Edward's low-budget indie monster film, Monsters, has been garnering some excellent reviews. Read this one on IGN or this one on firstshowing.net.

Synopsis:

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.

Just released is a Making Of video, featuring Edwards talking about his film. Here it is, courtesy of Dread Central:
