Monolith (out Oct 26) is an Aussie film about a young woman using her viral podcast to solve a mystery - a bunch of black, alien-like bricks which are messing with people’s minds. The film uses an interesting approach (it’s largely just a single actor talking with people over the phone) but it builds just enough intrigue to hold your attention for 90 minutes. Ending is iffy. Grade: B.
