Monsters: Dark Continent is a 2014 British science fiction horror film that depicts a war-torn Middle East landscape that has become overrun with alien creatures known as Monsters. Directed by Tom Green, the film is a sequel to the 2010 film Monsters, but set in a different location and with a different set of characters. The film is set a few years after the events of the first film and follows a group of young soldiers from Detroit who are sent on a mission to the "Monster Zone," which spans large parts of the Middle East. They are tasked with killing the creatures that have overtaken the area and to provide medical aid to the locals who are caught in the crossfire. The soldiers discover that the area is even more dangerous than they anticipated, and not just because of the creatures.

The film primarily focuses on two soldiers, Michael (played by Sam Keeley) and Frankie (played by Joe Dempsie), who have grown up together and joined the military together. They are joined by other members of their unit, including Inkelaar (played by Kyle Soller), Williams (played by Parker Sawyers), and Shaun (played by Nicholas Pinnock). The group is led by Sergeant Forrest (played by Johnny Harris), who has seen his fair share of combat and is not afraid to make tough decisions.

The film explores the relationships between the soldiers and the locals, as they struggle to navigate the complex political landscape of the Middle East. The soldiers begin to question their mission as they witness the devastation that has been caused by the war and the monsters. They are faced with difficult choices that could mean the difference between life and death for themselves and the people they are trying to protect.

One of the central themes of the film is the idea of humanity and what it means to be human. The soldiers are tasked with killing creatures that are often depicted as monstrous and inhuman. However, they quickly realize that the creatures are not the only threat in the area. They are forced to confront the fact that the true monsters are the people who have been affected by the war, and the soldiers themselves, who have been conditioned to see their enemies as less than human.

The special effects in the film are impressive, with some truly terrifying monsters. The film also features some spectacular action scenes, with plenty of gunfire and explosions. However, what makes the film truly stand out is the way it explores the psychological toll of war on the soldiers. The film doesn't shy away from the brutal realities of combat and the toll it takes on the soldiers.

Overall, Monsters: Dark Continent is a thought-provoking and visually impressive film that explores the complex issues surrounding war and humanity. It features strong performances from its cast and stunning visuals that make it a must-see for fans of science fiction and horror. While it is a sequel to the 2010 film Monsters, it stands on its own as a unique and powerful film that is sure to leave an impact on its viewers.

Monsters: Dark Continent is a 2015 thriller with a runtime of 1 hour and 59 minutes. It has received mostly poor reviews from critics and viewers, who have given it an IMDb score of 4.3 and a MetaScore of 42.
