Hey what's up guys
Today I'll show you a horror-drama film: "Murder Me, Monster"
Spoiler ahead, watch out and take care
The movie begins in the remote Andes mountains in Argentina
A herd of sheep is grazing by the mountainside, a couple of them with blood smeared on their faces
They bleat and walk away, slowly revealing a woman
A red line is blossoming across her neck, and blood pours out of it
Her throat had been sliced from ear to ear
She sinks to her knees, still in shock by what happened
Her neck slowly separates from her body, but she still desperately tries to reattach it
But it's too late for the woman
When the authorities discover her body in the fields near her house, her decapitated head is missing
They immediately question her husband, who is already old and frail
He denies having any involvement in the death of his wife
He tells the police that he did see a man running to the abandoned refuge in the mountains
The police haul the husband away for questioning
One of the police officers, Cruz,
is instructed by his boss to stay behind at the house and investigate
He goes to the headless body first and examines it
The woman's clothes are dirty and torn
There's a strange green goo on the stump, where her head used to be
He then heads toward the nearby pen, where a sheep is lying in the dirt
Beside it is the woman's decapitated head
Back in his apartment, Cruz picks up the phone and calls his lover, Francisca
He tells her that her husband David matches the description of the man,
who the victim's husband said he had seen running to the mountains
Cruz braves the snow-capped mountains to rescue the man, who is hiding in the abandoned refuge there
True enough, he finds David there, shell-shocked and staring into nothing
He handcuffs the man to the steering wheel of the car
He delivers David back to his wife Francisca
She gives him a hug, and thanks Cruz for safely rescuing her husband
If it had been the military who found him, he would have been subjected to torture
That night, Francisca comforts her husband
She gently removes his shirt, and touches the big wound he has along his spine
David finally talks, describing the voices he was hearing
But Francisca doesn't understand
The lights in their home flicker off; and she hurriedly goes outside to restart the generator
When she goes back inside, David is no longer sitting on the bed
He's naked and quivering on the floor, moaning loudly
She wraps him in a blanket, and holds him tight
The next day, Cruz has a hormone tryst with Francisca
While they're lying in bed together, he tells her that she has already mothered David enough
It's already dark when Cruz drives her home
Along the way, they encounter David walking aimlessly on the road
He rides in the car with his wife and her lover
A few minutes later, something bumps into the car
They stop, and David steps out
A convoy of motorcycle riders whizzes by them
They continue their drive, and Cruz drops the husband and wife home at their house
David gets out of the car first, and Francisca hurries after him
But there's no sign of him in the clearing near their house
Suddenly, a long GPS tentacle reaches out for Francisca's neck
She tries to crawl away; but it tightens its grip
Her screams of anguish echo into the night
The next morning, Cruz and other police officers find the headless body of Francisca
She is the second victim to fall prey to the unknown killer
They find David nearby, naked and looking crazy
The other policemen know about Cruz and Francisca's hormone affair,
so they treat Cruz with care, and promise him that they will expedite the forensics for her case
David is taken into custody
A psychiatrist interviews him about his mental issues
He confesses that despite the medication, he can still hear the voice inside his head
He tells her that the voice takes control of him, and makes him violent
In the coroner's laboratory, Cruz gazes upon the lifeless body of Francisca
He traces the bruises on her legs with a pained expression
Her decapitated head still hasn't been found
The coroner pulls out the first victim's head, and shows it to Cruz
He tells him that the woman had been violently raped, probably with a stick,
before the killer bit off her head
The coroner also finds an animal tooth, embedded into her throat
That night in his cell, David maniacally scribbles words in his little notebook
A voice keeps whispering to him, and he sobs into his pillow
Cruz obtains the recordings of David's sessions with the psychiatrist
He listens to the tapes while he's driving
David described the voice inside his head as repeating the word "murder",
a thousand times over and over
Sometimes, the voice would also call him a monster, and tells him to murder him
David added that the repetition of that phrase would always drive him mad
In the recordings,
the psychiatrist probed David into why he is hearing a voice call him a monster,
insinuating that maybe it's his guilt over killing his wife manifesting itself
Cruz gets so absorbed by the recordings that he almost crashes his car in a dark tunnel
The police captain calls Cruz into his office
He's concerned that his personal connection to the case is getting to him
The captain offers him pills to manage his own issues
Then the captain lists the many fears and phobias that plague many people,
driving home the point that Cruz is not alone in his fear and grief
He even shares that he also had his own great love that he lost
But Cruz is as stoic as always,
and doesn't really reciprocate the captain's vulnerability and openness
After work, Cruz goes to a bar, and dances in front of a mirror,
weirdly swaying and gesturing in front of the mirror
Francisca had told him before, what she loved most about him was his dancing
This is Cruz's own way of grieving his dead lover
Cruz visits David later, and gives him back Francisca's wedding ring
He confesses that he had killed his wife,
by tying a chain around her neck and attaching it to a motorbike
Cruz knows it wasn't the cause of death, so he disregards the confession
David babbles on about needing a phrase and an image
He then swallows the ring and groans
A moment later, Cruz throws up the ring from his mouth
He's flabbergasted by what happened, and immediately leaves
Not long after, the police find another headless body of a woman inside a motocross track
She had been carrying a sack of walnuts
Cruz notices the same green goo on the headless stump, and he takes a sample of it
That night, David escapes from police custody,
and is walking through the forest when he sees the gang of motorcyclists speeding down the road
He notices that he has green goo all over the front of his body
In the morning, he buries something in his backyard
Cruz listens to more recordings of David's sessions with the psychiatrist
David discussed his beliefs that the monster controls him telepathically;
and the murders that are happening, are an equivalence of two worlds
Meanwhile, Cruz begins to form his own theory
Based on what David said about the motorcycle gang during one of the sessions,
he thinks that they may be connected to the murders,
since the third victim was found on a motocross track
He took a map of the area, and connected all three murder sites with a line
It formed three "M" s,
corresponding to the three-word phrase that David keeps hearing: "Murder Me, Monster "
He realizes that the shapes formed are very similar
to the shape of the three mountains near their town
Cruz shares his theory with the captain
He says that the next victim will appear on the other side of the river,
based on the geometric shape he traced
But the captain is not ready to believe in a mythical monster yet
He thinks that Cruz is misguided, and sees shapes where there's nothing
But Cruz is soon proven right
The fourth victim is found on the other side of the river
David is also found near the dumpsite of the body
The captain is ready to believe Cruz's theory now
Near the field, they also find Francisca's decapitated head
It was the cloth-wrapped thing that David had dug up
The police arrest David again, but their jeep falls down a ravine
so they take shelter in the refuge while a storm passes
The captain is intent on getting David to confess
but Cruz is fixated on the huge bite marks on the bodies
He believes that no human could make those bites
But the captain argues that David is connected to all the victims
He was seen running from the first victim's house;
he was the second victim's husband;
and the third victim was found after he had escaped police custody
The captain orders Cruz to get the bottle of wine under the seat in the broken jeep,
so he can clear his head
David is handcuffed and huddled in a corner
He offers to go out and catch the monster for the police; so he can prove his innocence
In a twist, the captain comes slithering behind David,
and reveals that he was the monster all along
Suddenly, a long dark tentacle is sprouting from his mouth
After terrifying David to shit, the GPS tentacle disappears,
and a confused look appears on the captain's face
He seems to be surprised at the green goo in his mouth
While looking for the wine, Cruz hears screams coming from the ravine
He discovers his female colleague's decapitated head below
Cruz comes back to the refuge, holding the colleague's decapitated head
The captain seems to be back to normal, alluding that what happened earlier,
is an example of the monster's ability to possess people
He seems to have no recollection of what happened
Upon seeing Cruz holding the head, the captain accuses him of being the killer, and handcuffs him
He says that it now makes sense why Cruz knew so much about the case, and the killer's next move
Cruz calmly says that the captain is wrong, and tells him to look at the colleague's head
The captain picks up the head, which was badly mauled by the killer
An animal tooth is protruding from the side of the face
Behind the captain, the tentacle is slowly slinking out of the ceiling
He gets the idea that the monster is looking for David,
so he will just hand the man over to the monster; so they will be spared
The captain releases him from the handcuffs, and deposits him outside the refuge
The captain moves back to the shelter and waits
A while later, a dark figure comes out of the night, and walks up to David
The captain immediately responds by shooting the figure
But in doing so, he also accidentally shoots David in the head
It turns out, the dark figure isn't the monster, but another police officer
The captain drags the bodies back to the shelter
He immediately makes plans on how to cover up his mistakes, and Cruz readily agrees to back him up
The captain lets Cruz go, and he walks out into the night
He walks while holding a flare gun
The motorcycle gang appears again and circles him
Cruz just wordlessly stares at them until they speed away
After that, Cruz finds a cave nestled in the mountains
He crawls through the small opening, and emerges into a spacious cavern
He notices a second too late that a bulbous tail has wrapped around his body
He comes face-to-face with a terrifying gray-skinned creature,
with a huge stomach and a long spiky tail
Where its mouth should be are two flaps of skin, filled with rows of sharp teeth
This is the monster that has been killing and decapitating women
Cruz is shaking in fear, as the monster snaps his right arm away
Unbelievably, Cruz survives the attack despite losing his hormone-let-go arm
He now lives in hiding in a peaceful monastery up in the mountains
He no longer works as a police officer,
perhaps because of the controversies resulting from what happened that fateful night
Not much is known about what happened in the aftermath of that fateful night
The motorcycle gang's connection is not explained, nor is the captain's fate revealed
But it is clear that Cruz is now living in fear like David was
He's imprisoned by his hormone-cheating past, and what the monster had punished him with
Every now and then, green goo would spill out of his mouth,
indicating that the monster has infected him like it infected the captain,
who might also be a hormone-smith like Cruz
The psychiatrist visits Cruz later,
and hands him the letters that David wrote while he was in custody
Cruz reads them, and profoundly empathizes with the loneliness and pain that David was feeling,
while he struggled with the monster that he kept hearing inside his head
Above all, he also connects with the love and longing that
David felt for his disloyal wife, Francisca
After reading the letters, he burns them
The movie ends with the monster rampaging around the secluded mountains,
possibly keeping hunting those hormone-cheating women
The field is littered with the bones of his victims
It opens its mouth and screams, with green goo oozing out of the orifice
