I understand that this film isn't everyone's cup of tea, given the hyper-focus on the scenery and the actors (or lack of them). ~ However, the performance of our journalist was brutal, the plot consistent and the mystery kept slowly unravelling in an unpredictable and chilling way. ~ An excellent example of how intimate this type of approach, which some might call "low budget", can be. The absence of distractions such as stunning sceneries or too much going on at same time like is becoming common nowadays in the industry in general, and it's precisely what distinguish this production. This intimate approach gives the plot an immensity that borders on realism, makes you focus more on every little things. At some point the behavior of our "hero" it's you in your own house thinking out loud making the surreal plot a little more believable and, therefore, more creepy by association. Althought the end was satisfying and on it's proper moment and gives you something to linger on... I was enjoying the ride and ultimately, my only critic is that I wanted to see more of it.

Enjoyed this a lot. But it wont be for everyone. An intriguing and different story, well made and very well acted with a creepy atmosphere. It is quite a slow burn but effective and probably best not to know too much going in as theres fun to be had watching the intelligent story unfold. Ambiguous but in a good way that left me thinking about the film after it had finished. Well done to all involved, the attempt to make something different is much appreciated and you did a great job proving you dont need a huge budget, big cast or lots of CGI effects to make a good film with an interesting story.

This is one of those movies that is surprisingly well done for a miniscule budget and, basically, one charachter on screen. We have a tendency, these days, to watch movies with other things going on around us, this is not that kind of movie. It would be great in a cinema but I doubt it will get a release there. Instead, be prepared to set up the room with no distractions, lower the lights and get into it. Remember Blair Witch, you need to be immersed. If you do that then you will find a good story, well acted, some good clues but not much truly revealed, too early, and a pretty reasonable ending that ties it all together. Whilst it is scifi, that is all in the concept rather than the action so its closer to a thriller than anything else. With the cinematography, it was all too mono and dark. I guess they were trying to set a mood but it was the same throughout with no light and shade, just grey. This didn't suit the surroundings of a house with massive windows, in the open, and lost the chance to convey any passing of time from day to night and vice versa. With only one charachter for 90 minutes, it needed something more to vary the pace so they could have done a hell of a lot better with that and it would have driven the story. If nothing else, I just love the house that the movie is set in. With all that said, on the whole, it is well worth watching and deserving of a decent rating if it is watched as a movie should be. Its definitely not a 10 but is worth and hour and half of your life.

I CANNOT believe this is Matthew Vesely's first horror movie, because it's one of the best i've ever seen, and horror is my favorite genre. I think the backlash this movie has received is mostly from older people who don't know what a podcast is and were too stuck on trying to figure out what it is the protagonist is doing to enjoy the art-piece on their screen. This is peak innovative horror. There are no jumpscares, no loud noises, just this ever-present dread that that slowly resolves into something tangible as the protagonist learns more about what it is she's looking into. Horror movies stopped being 'scary' to me a while ago, but this was so wonderfully unsettling that I had to make an account just to review it as highly as possible. I need to stop watching movies for a while, because i don't know if i'll be able to enjoy them fully in contrast with THIS.

Pretty interesting concept and while I love stories, it jsut got me inside a lot! I am very happy with most of the movie (95%) so it is well worth it to just give it a try if you like to be puzzled and getting inside in the world of the creators. I like so the movie was pretty cool and enjoyable. From the beginning I was intrigued and it held me right to the almost the end - however I do watch movies late at night, and sometimes I am just getting tired and sleepy it didn't bother me much this time. I was happy to watch this movie because it was something new and different than usuall. Creating a podcast is also a subject that is interesting to me - so it was realy an awesome movie to be honest!

After a career ending misjudgement, a Journalist uncovers a vague conspiracy theory through her podcast, as she digs deeper, she realises she's closer to the conspiracy than she first realised. One of those films that you could easily dismiss as mehh, but if you stick with it, I think you may get something out of it. It held my attention all the way through. Tagged as a horror, absolutely not, in no way, shape or form does this have a single scare, it's more a mystery, with sci fi undertones, you'll be kept intrigued enough, to want to hear the conclusion. The twist at the end of the film was the highlight, and definitely the most unsettling sequence. A very competent performance from Lily Sullivan, who carries the film pretty much single handedly. 7/10.

The story unfolds with a progressive discovery of mysteries that ends up capturing the viewers and dragging them into its plot. Main character and only performer of the set, Lily Sullivan, in a salient performance, maintains the tension throughout the entire film with her soothing voice. Deals with three sensitive trending issues, social media, mental health and secrecy. Ending in an unexpected twist of the events even more shocking than the tale itself. Low budget but a well treated image and a very immaculate location. A perfect use of resources. Surprising finding alike Primer (2004), The Man from Earth (2007), Coherence (2013)...

Again, this goes to show you don't need huge budgets to create good sci-fi. Absolute props to Lily Sullivan who's crushing it carrying the whole thing as a one-woman show. Now you have to know before you go in that it is extremely slow paced sci-fi with little to no special effects, and everything hinges on the atmosphere, closer to a psychological thriller in that way. In fact I find the poster for the movie a tad misleading. While it kept me engaged for the vast majority of the time, there are some pacing problems in certain places so that was unfortunate. But overall it's definitely something I would recommend for people who can appreciate "non-flashy sci-fi".

That's pretty much it. Acting is ok, but this story would have played out better on an audiobook... because that is basically what it was. Paid full price for this movie and both me and my girlfriend found our selvess robbed after the movie. Was not only not worth the money, but wouldn't have been worth the time of we saw it for free either. Have 250 charachters left to write, so i will fill the rest of it with the same kind of empty substance that this movie contained... nothing but garbage that is. Hope i managed to save some elses time and money on this one. If not, we certainly feel with you.

Being Australian and having traveled around Adelaide and South Australia, I could really appreciate the setting of Monolith. Although it was mostly filmed indoors, the scenes outside were lovely. The movie itself was well filmed, atmospheric, and gloomy. The story did have me completely invested. A mysterious brick that has weird effects on those who possess it. It is a mystery that slowly unwinds as the disgraced journalist played admirably by Lily Sullivan, does a podcast about this brick. There are quite a few twists and turns with an ending that I honestly did not see coming. This is a rather bleak movie, but one of the better ones. I have said before that Australian movies do bleak and end-of-the-world films really well. Mad Max, The Cars That Ate Paris, and Dead End Drive-In, are just a few. The only gripe I have though is with the ending, I thought it was a little too ambiguous. But that is just my opinion for what it is worth. This is a great film for those that like their movies filled not with huge explosions but with a sense of quiet creeping dread.
