“Excellent filmmaking and superb acting… Monarch is a terrific display of the finest Filmmaking, with a compelling story that mixes some true history with fiction.”  IMDb

“An immensely entertaining gothic melodrama, the creepy details that Walsh weaves into the film, like a dog hungrily licking the spilt blood of a cohort, the secret passageways, the luminescent spectres of the past, give Monarch a striking, idiosyncratic appeal, one that any film fan should be delighted was not lost to history.” ★★★★ - THE MOVIE WAFFLER
