Some Kind of Monster, also the name of a song released in 2003 by Metallica, is the name of a 2004 film featuring the band.
What began as a simple documentary of the making of an album (St. Anger) turned into a much more personal exploration of the band's relationships with each other, and struggles with the creative process.
The documentary, filmed in a 4:3 aspect ratio, shows many studio rehearsals and fragments of concert footage.
Some Kind of Monster is a music documentary about Metallica's making of their album St. Anger and the difficulties they had to go through in the process. The directors (Joe Berlinger & Bruce Sinofsky) shot over 1200 hours and followed the band around night and day for over a year to create this documentary. Written by Mathias Nielsen
