New Photos From Next Weeks Big Monster Movie Release

A giant tentacled monster lays waste to one of the world's largest cities while hordes of screaming citizens run for their lives. Local law enforcement personnel open fire on the creature, inflicting little or no damage. Meanwhile a group of young people are caught in the middle of the chaos, which surrounds them as the monster destroys the city. They search the city for answers, but get the runaround from the military, who is trying to suppress any news of the attack. All that remains of what they witness is a crude home video, which is the only accurate account of what really happened.

We are talking about J.J. Abram's monster movie called "Cloverfield" right?

You may have thought so from that description and the above photo, but what we really talking about is Asylum Pictures direct to DVD release "Monster", which will hit store shelves next week.

"Monster" is an obvious "Cloverfield" clone produced by a studio, who is notorious for creating such mirror films of Hollywood blockbusters.

Hold on a second though, "Monster" looks as if it has all the makings of a decent giant monster movie. Check out this trailer and judge for yourself: Monster Trailer

Two American sisters; Sarah and Erin (Sarah Lieving & Erin Sullivan), are preparing for a trip to Japan to make a documentary on climate change. They fly to Japan to interview the Minster of the Environment, who assures the two women that, despite global climate problems, progress is being made and the public shouldn't worry about any "catastrophes." On cue, a large earthquake strikes. Through Sarah's camera, we see, in the distance, a large SOMETHING emerging from beneath the ground.

Sarah and Erin are rushed into the basement shelter by the building's security. In the confusion and panic, they escape the shelter and run into the street where they witness the attack of a massive creature that emerges from underground. The girls decide to try to get to the US Embassy to plan their escape. READ MORE

The fine folks over at The Asylum were cool enough to send us a batch of photos from the movie.

Two American sisters; Sarah and Erin, are preparing for a trip to Japan to make a documentary on climate change. They fly to Japan to interview the Minster of the Environment, who assures the two women that, despite global climate problems, progress is being made and the public shouldn't worry about any "catastrophes." On cue, a large earthquake strikes. Through Sarah's camera, we see, in the distance, a large SOMETHING emerging from beneath the ground.

Sarah and Erin are rushed into the basement shelter by the building's security. In the confusion and panic, they escape the shelter and run into the street where they witness the attack of a massive creature that emerges from underground. The girls decide to try to get to the US Embassy to plan their escape.

They outrun flying chunks of debris and hide among the ruins of a demolished building. The creature passes by and they see it clearly for the first time: It is over 200-feet long and covered with enormous tentacles.

The girls meet a small group of survivors hiding in the rubble. Speaking broken English, the survivors reveal that the US Embassy has been destroyed.

Sarah convinces Erin they need to find somewhere else to hide, but the other survivors are too afraid to move. Alone, the girls run into the street. They observe the death and destruction surrounding them. Most of Tokyo has been destroyed. As they walk through the rubble, fighter jets fly past and fire on the creature. The battle between the creature and the jets is seen in quick glimpses through the video camera. There is an explosion and the girls are separated in the confusion. During the melee the video camera is turned off.

It is revealed that the tapes were found in the wreckage and that the fate of the sisters is unknown.

A newscast reports a massive earthquake in Tokyo, which has killed thousands. There is no mention of a creature at all.



On January 15, 2008 the truth will finally be told.

After a massive earthquake in Tokyo, two American filmmakers document their experience as they attempt to escape from the decimated city.

For the first time, this film will present the heroic sisters’ raw footage, which finally reveals the true cause of the destruction.

Was the original footage lost… or was it suppressed?

Watch the trailer for an advance look at this amazing visual document.
