I happened to stumble upon the 2019 movie "Making Monsters" in 2021. I had never heard about it, and I didn't even know what it was about. However, I saw the movie's cover and figured it to be a horror movie, so of course I ended up watching "Making Monsters".
And while "Making Monsters" from writer Justin Harding was watchable, it was not really an outstanding or memorable horror movie. Sure, the storyline was adequately entertaining, but it just didn't bring anything new or fresh to the table, so it was essentially just a fairly average addition to the genre.
Directors Justin Harding and Rob Brunner managed to make the movie watchable, just a shame that the contents of the script and storyline was a bit restrictive. The movie suffered from being a bit cluttered and lacking ups and downs to its storyline. The story just trotted out there is a fairly monotonous pace, for better or worse.
The acting in the movie was actually good, and actors Tim Loden, Jonathan Craig and actress Alana Elmer actually carried the movie quite well. Now, "Making Monsters" is not a movie that has a lot of people on the cast list, so there was a bit of extra pressure on the actors and actresses performances, and luckily they rose to the occasion.
For a horror movie then "Making Monsters" just didn't cut it for me, no pun intended. The movie wasn't scary, and it felt like writer Justin Harding was just riding it safe and playing on horses that have been in horror movies before.
I am rating "Making Monsters" a slightly less than mediocre four out of ten stars. It was watchable, but this movie came and went without catching my attention, and it is a movie that will quietly fade into oblivion in my book.
