Just two weeks after its premiere in theaters, Scream star Melissa Barrera’s creature feature rom-com Your Monster is already headed home. It’s been announced that the film, directed by Caroline Lindy, will be available on PVOD starting November 12, with pre-orders available on Apple TV+ right now.
Barrera stars in the film as Laura Franco, an actress who finds herself unceremoniously dumped while recovering from surgery. After returning to her childhood home to cope after finding out that her ex has also stolen their joint work, things start to look up when she finds Tommy Dewey’s monster, who she falls heads over heels for as he teaches her to accept herself — and her inner rage, too. The new poster gives us a heartwarming look into their romance, with the two displayed in front of a cartoon heart, with Laura’s half all cute and cuddly, and the monster’s giving a more…realistic depiction of the body part.
The film also stars Meghann Fahy, who’s set to lead another horror film soon, in the Christopher Landon-directed Drop. It’s written and directed by Caroline Lindy, who makes her feature film debut after adapting the film from her 2020 short of the same name. She also produces alongside Kayla Foster, Kira Carstensen, Melanie Donkers, and Shannon Riley.
Your Monster is Barrera’s second horror film of the year, after leading the cast of Universal’s vampire film Abigail alongside Dan Stevens, Kathryn Newton, and Alisha Weir. She is also set to star in an untitled James Wan project with Simu Liu, as well as the reality show horror film The One, alongside Lana Condor and Nicholas Hoult. And Your Monster isn’t the only horror rom-com to hit our screens this year — it joins Lisa Frankenstein, which co-stars Barerra’s Abigail costar Newton alongside Cole Sprouse as her undead suitor.
Your Monster will be available on PVOD starting tomorrow, November 12.
