First Trailer Released For Melissa Barrera’s Horror RomCom Your Monster

Melissa Barrera gets up close and personal with a thing that goes bump in the night in her new film Your Monster, and the first trailer is online. Vertical released the trailer for the dark romantic comedy on Thursday, and you can check it out below.

The trailer sets up the story as Berrera’s character, an actress in New York, finds herself dumped by her boyfriend at her lowest point. As things look their worst for her, she discovers a literal monster in her closet. While things don’t start well, the meet-cute looks to be leading to romance — and offers to eat her ex, who is in charge of the musical she’s in.

The film is directed by Caroline Lindy and stars Barrera, Tommy Dewey, Edmund Donovan, Kayla Foster, Meghann Fahy, Brandon Victor Dixon, Ike Ufomadu, and Lana Young. Releasing on October 25th, it is described as follows:

Your Monster tells the story of the soft-spoken actor Laura Franco (Melissa Barrera), who is dumped by her longtime boyfriend (Edmund Donovan) while recovering from surgery and retreats to her childhood home to recover. With her future looking bleak, insult is added to injury when Laura discovers her ex is staging a musical that she helped him develop. But out of these gut-wrenching life changes emerges a monster (Tommy Dewey) with whom she finds a connection, encouraging Laura to follow her dreams, open her heart and fall in love with her inner rage.
