MONOLITH is an Australian sci-fi horror thriller in which a disgraced journalist turned podcaster investigates reports of encounters with mysterious artefacts of otherworldly power.

threat and horror
There is an eerie and unsettling tone throughout, as podcast callers - some of whom sound scared and upset - speak about their encounters with objects of unnatural power linked to strange events, disturbing visions and a sense of dread; the threat builds further as the podcaster starts experiencing the same symptoms. In other scenes a character is menaced and attacked by a person who is implied to be an extraterrestrial being in human form.
language
There is use of strong language (‘f**k’). Milder terms include ‘WTF’, ‘bitch’, ‘shit’, ‘bullshit’, ’bloody’, ‘ballbags’, ‘bastard’ and ‘crap’.
additional issues
A person finds a large object lodged in their throat and pulls it out, resulting in brief bloody detail. It is implied that a person takes their own life while under the power of an alien object, and in another scene a woman describes experiencing visions in which she kills herself; however, these scenes are devoid of strong or graphic detail. There is a moderate sequence of strangulation. Other issues include a brief verbal reference to marijuana misuse.
