'Monsters' Sequel 'The Dark Continent' Moves Forward With 'Misfits' Director Tom Green
One of the big successes of the 2010 indie world was "Monsters," the ultra-low budget sci-fi picture which became a sensation after it premiered at SXSW. Made on a miniscule budget, with hugely impressive effects created on an off-the-shelf computer, it followed two Americans try...
