The Monster (S: Zoe Kazan, 2016)
this seems interesting to me from the trailer and description. Anyone see this? recommend?
i love Zoe and would see anything she is in, but wondering if this is worth a rental...

Not recommended. I found it an unsuccessful combination of sometimes-histrionic mother-daughter melodramatics and lethargic, predictable Cujo-esque monster stalking.

Agreed. The backstory seemed forced to me and I couldn't sympathize with either the mom or daughter. Not horrible but don't go out of your way to see. 2.5/5

this was a pretty good little creature feature. Very different role for Kazan and I could have done with a little less exposition, but overall well done and the creature was pretty unique and fierce. Satisfying ending.

I watched it over the weekend as well since it was on Prime streaming. I'm a huge fan of The Strangers, so I was excited to see it. It was OK, nothing great though. I actually felt that they showed the monster too much, which took a little away from the movie. I also thought that the final act was pretty dumb, but just my opinion.
