Verdict on Monsters of California

Recap

As a dedicated cinephile, let me tell you about this movie that I recently watched. It’s about a gang of us teenagers on a quest to find one of our dads’ research. This journey leads us into some eerie, otherworldly territory. But what we uncover surpasses anything we could have ever anticipated, leaving us utterly disturbed.

Best Parts

Every time we explore hidden aspects of the government or possible extraterrestrial beings, we stumble upon an intriguing narrative idea. This narrative features a missing parental figure that the protagonist yearns to understand better. These elements effectively contribute to the storyline.

Worst Parts

The movie might struggle with its focus when it involves high school stoners exploring the supernatural, as their drug-induced hallucinations make it hard for viewers to accept what they are seeing.

Final Thoughts –Monsters of California is a stoner paranormal hunt.
