Monolith REALLY could have been something other than what it turned out to be. Despite only ever having one actor on the screen (all others only did voice roles) it engaged me and intrigue me but around halfway through the film it starts to unravel from a sci-fi/thriller into predictable and unimaginative plot lines that quickly send things sharply downhill resulting in what ended as an entirely underwhelming film.
It can't seem to decide if it wants to be about aliens or about mental illness as neither is made clear in any way shape or form leaving the conclusion entirely up to the viewer.
If I wanted to spend the majority of 90 minutes watching someone talk over the phone I should have just watched "the guilty" 2018 or 2021.
4/10 Thriller 4/10 Mystery 2/10 Sci-fi
Absolutely nothing special here. Save yourself the time despite the solid acting from the aussie actress.
