When Monsters came out last year, it instantly became one of my favourite British films of all time. To me, writer and director Gareth Edwards made a masterpiece with his feature debut.

Despite the overt nature of the title, the ‘Monsters’ in question only made the briefest of appearances, with the main crux of the story concentrating on the developing relationship between the two protagonists.The sci-fi element of the plot was really more of a backdrop [...]
