No Such Thing (2001)

Let’s take a moment and look at it from the monster’s point of view. You have no contemporaries, people shun you, you can breath fire but you look like you’ve been carved out of a log. In essence, you’re monstrous. Along comes a slip of a girl who works in TV and offers you your 15 minutes and what happens? You become a media darling, get blasted out of your head, annoy everyone with your demands and treat everyone with whom you come into contact… monstrously. Who’d want you and why would you stick around to take the chance?
