TIFF 2010: 'Monsters' Premiere

Last night I had the pleasure of seeing the Toronto premiere of Gareth Edwards Monsters film. After hearing great things about this low budget film, I was excited to see what Edwards had done in his directorial debut. Though the film was nothing spectacular, Edwards definitely did not disappoint me with his efforts. A solid story, a great screenplay, as well as good performances from newly-weds ScootMcNairy and Whitney Able, led to an entertaining film for the most part. It was suspenseful, romantic, dramatic, but did lack a little bit of action. The premiere, smaller than the big ones at TIFF this year, was a fun and relaxed environment showcasing these virtually unknowns talent. Edwards was chatty with the audience both before and after the film, and cracked some great quips with the crowd. The movie played quite well to the attendees of the premiere, even the actors in the film who sat right in front of me enjoyed it (probably for the 100th time). Look for my review for the film sometime this week. Enjoy these photos!
