You can watch 4% of A Monster Calls with these new clips

Last Updated on July 31, 2021

Everybody has been talking about Felicity Jones since ROGUE ONE made approximately 90 bajillion dollars in the box office, and to a lesser extent people have been keeping director J. A. Bayona in their minds thanks to his commitment on JURASSIC WORLD 2, but let's not forget that these two have collaborated on A MONSTER CALLS, which will hit theaters this week. 

The flick, which admittedly looks a little more fantasy than horror, is a gargantuan, emotional experience that has been getting rave reviews (including two from our very own Jake Dee and Chris Bumbray), and it has now dropped three new clips to give you a taste of its enormity. That means, if you like, you can watch a full four percent of the entire movie right the hell now. Check them out below and see if you should squeeze it into your end-of-the-year watchlist!

Written by Patrick Ness and based on his 2011 children's book, which was inspired by an idea from the late Siobhan Dowd, A MONSTER CALLS centers on:

12-year-old Conor (Lewis MacDougall), who is dealing with his mother’s (Felicity Jones) illness, a less-than-sympathetic grandmother (Sigourney Weaver), and bullying classmates. He finds a most unlikely ally when a Monster appears at his bedroom window. Ancient, wild, and relentless, the Monster guides Conor on a journey of courage, faith, and truth.

A MONSTER CALLS will be opening in select theatres for an Oscar-qualifying run on December 23rd, followed by a wide release on January 6th.
