Rating: 4 cats
Director: Jay Craven
Starring: Bruce Dern | Geneviève Bujold | Jacqueline Hennessey | Jessica Hecht | Seamus Davey-Fitzpatrick

Monster (2004)

By Chlotrudis Independent Film Society
Rating: 4 cats
Director: Patty Jenkins
Starring: Bruce Dern | Charlize Theron | Cristina Ricci | Pruitt Taylor-Vince | Scott Wilson

Monster
