US Trailer For Gareth Edwards’ MONSTERS Arrives, Film Becomes Latest Subjected To Bizarre MPAA Ratings Decision.

The official US trailer for Gareth Edwards’ post-alien arrival scifi road movie Monsters – coming to theatres from Magnet releasing October 29th – has just arrived at Apple and it’s a good one.

This is a good thing because it’s a good movie and shouldn’t need to be presented as something its not to get people to turn out.
