The movie

Lin, a nice but tormented teenager, must endure the humiliations Renhao and his pals regularly put him through. Wrongly accused of stealing money, he is forced to do some community service alongside his bullies. As the other ones progressively accept him as one of their own, Lin partakes in their misdeeds to seek their approval. During a night out, the group runs into a pair of cannibalistic monsters and captures one of them. They start a sadistic game which consequences could be disastrous... As a gory and nihilistic black comedy, Mon Mon Mon Monsters explores the torments of adolescence in a radical way. The script is filled with reprehensible characters who are irresistibly drawn to violence. Imbued with a terrifying political subtext, the film is structured around aesthetically powerful and memorable scenes that paint a picture of spitefulness. A cinematic shock that will leave you gobsmacked.
