‘Monstrous’ Film Review: Christina Ricci Stars in a Supernatural Thriller with a Few Surprises
is a supernatural thriller that digs much deeper than it first appears: On the surface, Laura (Christina Ricci) is simply a mother looking to restart her life in a new town with her young son Cody (Santino Barnard, “8-Bit Christmas”). Considering the 1950s setting, a time when it might be unusual for a woman to raise a child alone in a town unfamiliar to her, it’s almost immediately clear that something is up with Laura. Figuring out what that is, however, is what fuels the mystery.Making matters more curious, Laura and Cody’s new home is remote and near a pond.
