Reviews:

MovieGuys (5/10)

The oddly titled, Monsters of California, feels like a B grade X Files meets Close Encounters, mash up.

Its not a bad little film. Its story is basic but works and its cast really make an effort to deliver, on their performances. This is just as well as it clearly has budgetary limitations, that prevent it from taking this production to the next level.

In summary, I enjoyed this in spite of its limited budget and script. The effort put in by the cast is commendable and does pay off. Worth a look.
