An incredible new sci-fi thriller movie is now available to stream at home

It's one of the most inventive sci-fi films we've seen in a long time.

Coming from Australia, the film features rising star Lily Sullivan (Evil Dead Rise) in the lead role as a disgraced journalist.

Desperate to salvage her career, the journalist launches a podcast about unsolved mysteries while laying low in her parents' large home while they are away.

Soon enough, a story begins to build around reports she receives from people about a strange black brick.

As the journalist investigates further, sinister events start to occur.

The feature debut of director Matt Vesely and writer Lucy Campbell, the pair somehow manage to make a movie consisting mostly of someone conducting interviews over the phone nerve-bitingly tense.

This is down to the film's creepy story, haunting visuals and Sullivan's excellent central performance as the increasingly frazzled unnamed journalist.

Holding an 84% Rotten Tomatoes score, here is a sample of some of the positive reviews Monolith has received:

Bloody Disgusting: "Monolith is a low-fi thriller that needles its way under the skin and will likely have viewers interrogating the dark secrets in their own lives."

The Guardian: "Matt Vesely’s impressive debut ably stakes out its own territory, not least in the vast distances covered by a single on-screen actor and a handful of vocal performances."

RogerEbert.com: "In the end, the goal was clearly to trap us in the increasingly fractured mind of a single person who increasingly believes what is beyond believable. Mission accomplished."

Time Out: "Making the most of the palatial but spookily claustrophobic setting … Vesely and Campbell take us on a spine-chilling ride that, even if it winds up in fairly familiar territory, is never less than gripping thanks to a bravura performance by Sullivan."

Monolith is now available to stream in the UK and Ireland via Sky Cinema and NOW Cinema.
