Monsters (2010)

A journalist and his employer's daughter travel through a Mexican zone reshaped by alien arrival and military containment. Gareth Edwards is more interested in how people move through that altered world than in supplying a creature attack every few minutes. Border controls, damaged places and uncertain companionship give the journey its texture. Pick this quieter option for the human geography around a monster story, with long stretches of travel and waiting between the larger sights.
