The Playlist - Andrew Crump
It’s what we don’t see, at least not in full, that makes the film scare so effectively. Bertino holds his monster in reserve, conceding its presence through brief and mostly obscured glimpses of its shape.

Los Angeles Times - Justin Chang
Not least of the surprises here is that even when The Monster is trying to scare you witless, its every scene insistently reaffirms its characters’ humanity.
75
Entertainment Weekly - Clark Collis
Like "The Strangers," the result is a simple but skillfully told shocker.
75
RogerEbert.com - Brian Tallerico
The reason that The Monster works is because of how much Kazan’s performance captures the truth of the moment in which Kathy struggles.
70
We Got This Covered - Matt Donato
In the end, The Monster does more by way of thrilling tension and heartfelt admissions than it does through any scares, but that doesn’t make it a bad horror film. Bryan Bertino reveals a gushy soft side, only to tear out his heart and hoist it for all to see.
