MONSTROUS DISUNION

Cinemavixion Review

In "Monstrous Disunion," director Jackson Batchelor crafts a unique horror-comedy that uses the volatile backdrop of the Brexit referendum as a catalyst for both political and literal monstrosity. Released in 2021, the film plunges viewers into a London household on the day of the EU vote, where a family's deep-seated political divisions are mirrored by the emergence of grotesque, shapeshifting pig monsters. The narrative, penned by Batchelor alongside Md. Tayeen Khan and Sam Mason-Bell, cleverly intertwines the societal anxieties surrounding Brexit with a visceral, Twilight Zone-esque horror. Featuring strong performances from Jessamie Waldon-Day, Janette Evans, and James Underwood, the film excels in its ability to blend dark humor with genuine unease. While the external data notes a 4.9/10 rating on IMDb, the film's ambitious premise and its timely commentary on a fractured society make it a noteworthy, if unsettling, watch. "Monstrous Disunion" offers a biting satire wrapped in a creature feature, exploring how societal rifts can unleash the most terrifying beasts, both within and without.
