Interesting facts
Monsters is a 2004 British short horror film written and directed by Robert Morgan. He has described the film as semi-autobiographical, as he based the story's main concept on fantasies he had during childhood.
Production
Morgan based the concept of Monsters upon an idea he had as a child. Growing up, he lived near Broadmoor Hospital, causing him to fantasize about what would happen if a homicidal patient were to have escaped into the nearby forest.
After writing the script Morgan sent it to Cinema Extreme in hopes of receiving assistance. He was granted an interview and during the review process they gave him advice on development and about the look of the film. Morgan developed a storyboard to better communicate the story to the team, which eventually granted him the funding.
