Monsters is a 2010 British science fiction monster film written and directed by Gareth Edwards in his feature film directorial debut. Edwards also served as the cinematographer, production designer, and visual effects artist. Monsters takes place years after a NASA probe crash in Mexico which led to the sudden appearance of giant tentacled monsters. It follows Andrew Kaulder (played by Scoot McNairy), an American photojournalist tasked with escorting his employer's daughter Samantha Wynden (played by Whitney Able) back to the U.S. by crossing through Mexico's "Infected Zone" where the creatures reside.
Edwards conceived the idea for the film after seeing fishermen attempt to bring a creature in with a net, and imagining a monster inside. He pitched the idea to Vertigo Films, who suggested he watch In Search of a Midnight Kiss, a low-budget film starring Scoot McNairy. Edwards cast McNairy and Whitney Able in the lead roles. Principal photography lasted three weeks and had a production crew of six people. Filming took place in five countries, and many locations were used without permission. Most of the extras were people who were at these locations during filming and were persuaded to act in it; all of their dialogue was improvised, and Edwards provided outlines of the primary plot points.

They can find you for the moment
Then for all past efforts
There buried deep beneath
Your heart and somewhere in your stomach
And hey, transform all others
When aweful people they surround you
Well hey, they just like monsters
They come to feed on me
Giant little animals to feed
Though to say we got much hope
If i am lost it's only for a little while
A tree for all these problems
They can find us for the moment
Then for all past efforts
There buried deep beneath
Our hearts and somewhere in our stomachs
And hey, transform all others
When aweful people they surround you
Well hey, they just like monsters
They come to feed on us
Giant little animals for us
Though to say we got much hope
If i am lost it's only for a little while
Though to say we got much hope
If i am lost it's only for a little while
If i am lost it's only for a little while
