With the opening of 3:10 to Yuma this past weekend, there is a renewed interest in Westerns. Movies like Brokeback Mountain and There Will Be Blood are more examples of neo-westerns that are bringing about a resurgence in the genre. A Monster in the Attic is another example of a neo-western.

This brings about an interesting debate on our end: what kind of film is Monster? While it is, technically, a western, as it is set in the American West in the latter half of the 19th century (source: Wikipedia.org), A Monster in the Attic transcends several genres, including psychological thriller and family drama. This makes Monster a very unique film.

In more news, here’s a nice story about our Art Director, Erin Riegel, that mentions Monster more than once:
