"I guess that's what they mean by 'Infected Zone'."
With that being said, I wouldn't presume to call Monsters a film that intends to scare, or provoke fear. I'll say the provocation of sense of wonder, awe, and misunderstanding in the film about said monsters is more prominent than anything else. Including the images Edwards gives us (doubling as cinematographer).
The Mexican landscapes almost like tapestries before our eyes.
