No Such Thing Movie Synopsis

Disgusted with human evolution, a foul-mouthed monster (Burke) kills anyone who crosses his path. When a news crew is sent to investigate, the monster disappears and a guileless young journalist (Polley) is dispatched to follow up on the story. She befriends the monster, and eventually becomes his only hope in ending his life of misery.

Beautiful film...thoughful, provacative, Robert Burke was an exceptional introspective monster...but a bit left "up in the air" near the end, too enigmatic, like space odyssey 2001.
