Monsters: Dark Continent Trailer Posted at 8:05 AM by Dave Post

So, after the success of Monsters, the budget for the sequel apparently went through the roof.  I have to say I think it looks pretty good but what I liked about the first movie was that your didn’t really see the monsters until well into the film.  I suspect that was a budget constraint as much as it was an artistic decision to heighten the anticipation and horror but heighten the anticipation and horror it did.  This trailer makes it look like it’s going to be all monsters all the time.  Monsters on the horizon.  Monsters up close.  Monsters racing alongside a jeep reminiscent of Jurassic Park.  Giant monster eyeball peering through a window.  Even a monster vs. junk yard dog fight.  There is such a thing as too much of a good thing.  Perhaps they should have called it “Monsters: In Your Face!”.
