Monster - Jennifer Kent from Jennifer Kent on Vimeo.
A single mother battles her son's fear of a monster in the house, but soon discovers a sinister presence all around her.
Synopsis
A single mother (Susan Prior) has to deal with the dreariness of life and her son's, Samuel (Luke Ikimis-Healey), insistence on fighting the mysterious monster living in their house. She discovers the monster is a strange doll with long hair. Samuel claims the doll is real and plans to eat him. His mother tries to convince Samuel the doll isn't real and it can't hurt him. He doesn't believe her. She hides the doll in the closet under the stairs in hopes doing so will put an end to her son's monster fighting. Instead, his mother discovers Samuel was right about the doll. The Monster (Trash Vaudeville) makes his appearance at bedtime to claim Samuel. Will his mother be able to save him?
Director and writer Jennifer Kent later adapted Monster into her 2014 feature film The Babadook.
