Mon Mon Mon Monsters!

報告老師!怪怪怪怪物!

Giddens' highly-anticipated second feature is the opposite of You Are the Apple of My Eye (NYAFF 2012), though both share a similarly young and beautiful cast, striking visuals, and the idea that the kids are not quite all right. But no, this time, the kids are seriously, seriously messed up. Lin Shu-wei (Deng Yu-kai) is the ideal target for class bullies: a meek, straight-A student, he endures the worst humiliations. Framed by bully-in-chief, and handsome-without-a-heart Ren-Hao (Kent Tsai), he is unjustly assigned to hours of community service. Ren-hao and his partners in mayhem, Guo-feng (Lai Jun-Cheng) and Wei-zhu (Tao Bo-meng), see the punishment as another opportunity for mischief, until they stumble upon two flesh-eating female ghouls. After they decide it would be cool to own their very own monster, keeping her alive with a steady stream of Shu-wei's blood, they get buyer's remorse. Things only get gorier from there.
