The romantic comedy/horror film stars the SCREAM films’ Melissa Barrera.

Vertical will release YOUR MONSTER exclusively in theaters October 25. Written and directed by Caroline Lindy, with makeup effects by David LeRoy Anderson (THE CABIN IN THE WOODS), it also stars Tommy Dewey, Edmund Donovan, Kayla Foster, Meghann Fahy, Brandon Victor Dixon, Ike Ufomadu and Lana Young. The synopsis: “YOUR MONSTER tells the story of the soft-spoken actor Laura Franco [Barrera], who is dumped by her longtime boyfriend [Donovan] while recovering from surgery and retreats to her childhood home to recover. With her future looking bleak, insult is added to injury when Laura discovers her ex is staging a musical that she helped him develop. But out of these gut-wrenching life changes emerges a monster [Dewey] with whom she finds a connection, encouraging Laura to follow her dreams, open her heart and fall in love with her inner rage.”
