- The film operates on multiple dramatic and narrative levels. It employs some of the conventions of film noir, among them the character of a Antivorta - the time traveler.
Chiaroscuro cinematography gives this anit-hero "Antivorta" a questionable moral outlook - extended to include reflections upon the nature of his own humanity. It is a literate science fiction film, thematically enfolding the philosophy of religion and moral implications of human mastery of society by creating a job opening as a "lead nemisis" for a block buster film with a large budget, set in current day hollywood.
Reaching to the past, using literature, religious symbolism, classical dramatic themes, and film noir techniques. this tension between "the auditionees" unfolds a refection of mankinds own "free will" that paints a picture of humanities past, present, and future.
Through a guided tour of "Antivorta character" future depicted in the film, one which is high-tech and gleaming in places but decayed and outdated elsewhere.
This film is a film within a film concept from Writer/Director Shawn Welling. The story revolves around a casting director named Jack Bergman, who has been instructed by the "Higher Ups" of a Production Company, known as "M Film Studio," often simply referred to as "The Major" Film Studio, to cast the lead nemisis for their new film. The auditions are performed in a cold isolated room, resulting in a series of recorded interviews of the auditionees.
The interviewee who proves to have the most kills and most ruthless approach to killing will most likely get the role. Soon the series of interviews take a turn for the odd and bizarre as psychological and medical killers take on human form. From Suicide Sue to Hunger, H1N1, War, and many others, they all fight for the role of lead nemesis in the new blockbuster film, "Monstrous." Each auditionee seeks to convince Jack that he or she is the greatest killer of all time.
The auditions begin with this select group of 17, among the most dangerous real life killers, narrowed down from a universe-wide casting call. The audition commands individuals with real life method acting in the art of killing. Showing up to the audition are a group that comprised members from multiple species all bound by the common creed and code - to kill humans.
A surprise visit from the Devil and from God cause the age old question to arise for Jack Bergman - the casting director. If God loves us, why does He allow bad things to happen? Why do these evil method actors even exist? What does our future look like? And, of lesser importance but of greater curiosity for us ... Who will be chosen for the role?
A rogue assassin from the future, Antevorta, offers one last hint of hope by using his skills in "Time Travel" to restore peace and compassion to humanity.
Antevorta is among a select group of 23 of the most dangerous "Human Hunters" narrowed down from a universe-wide casting call for individuals with "real life killing" experience. This assembly brings together a motley crew of executioners to be interviewed by the casting director, Jack Bergman, for the new blockbuster movie, Monstrous.
Antevorta moves Jack and these killers forward in time to the future, to a post-apocalyptic wasteland where he seeks to kill all the current day evils in the world. Antevorta's "hit list" are those killers that responded to the casting call.
Here, he double-crosses his fellow killers as he hunts down each murderer, changing the narrative of the human timeline and bringing peace and solace to the central character, Jack Bergman, who represents the Everyman in today's society.
