Psychological horror film Monstrous is deadly...dull

Christina Ricci in Monstrous.

It seems vastly unfair to impute the onscreen creative failings of a movie to something as arguably innocuous as its credits, and perhaps in most cases that’s true. But in the instance of Monstrous, which tallies 41 (yes, 41!) executive producers (not counting four producers and seven other co-producers), the shoe seems to fit.

The Caper

A short story I wrote for an online contest. A pair of hoods get the brilliant idea to stick up an illegal gambling hall. Things...don't exactly go to plan. Not that such actions would usually be conducive to a long and healthy life, if you know what I mean, and I think you do.
