Love and Monsters – Picture: Paramount

Looking for the perfect combination of action, drama, romance, and comedy? Love And Monsters, the Paramount movie, will be landing on Netflix on 14 April 2021. That is, everywhere except from Netflix in the United States. 

Love and Monsters is an upcoming teen comedy-drama directed by Michael Matthews and produced by Stranger Things’ Shawn Levy and Dan Cohen.

The movie has been in the works since 2012, and was due for a global theatrical release in February 2021. However, due to the pandemic, the release plans shifted. Instead, the movie received a PVOD release on certain US platforms, as well as a limited release at a handful of US theaters in October 2020.

Then on St Patrick’s Day 2021, Netflix announced that it would be streaming the movie everywhere apart from the US next month:

Based on the success of its limited theatrical release, it looks like Love And Monsters will be a hit. Early fan reviews are positive, and the movie is nominated for Best Visual Effects at the 93rd Academy Awards.


What is the plot of Love And Monsters?

Here’s what we know about the plot of the “fun-filled and action-packed adventure” so far, as supplied by IMDb:

“Seven years after the Monsterpocalypse, Joel Dawson (Dylan O’Brien), along with the rest of humanity, has been living underground ever since giant creatures took control of the land. After reconnecting over radio with his high school girlfriend Aimee (Jessica Henwick), who is now 80 miles away at a coastal colony, Joel begins to fall for her again. As Joel realizes that there’s nothing left for him underground, he decides against all logic to venture out to Aimee, despite all the dangerous monsters that stand in his way.”
