"Your Monster" Review: Melissa Barrera's Unlikely Romance with a Creature Sparks Musical-Horror Delight

"Your Monster" is a genre-blending musical-horror-rom-com film showcased at Sundance's Midnight section, featuring Melissa Barrera as Laura, a cancer survivor who encounters a creature named Monster in her imagination after being dumped by her boyfriend. The film is a droll and sharp take on rom-coms, heartbreak, and revenge, with Monster encouraging Laura to audition for her ex-boyfriend's musical. While the ending swerves away from the overall comic tone, the film's audaciousness earns it a place in Sundance's Midnight lineup.
