Review of Jack Brooks: Monster Slayer (2007) by Az D — 11 Oct 2008
A campy horror/action/comedy surrounding a hero with anger management issues! The film begins at a slow pace to introduce the origin of our hero but picks up when Jack begins to execute with extreme prjudice cheesy looking monsters using plumbing equipment! A truly silly concept that surprisingly has appeal and works for the movie since it really doesn't take itself seriously.
Of course, the low budget hinders the film as the story and visuals of the film cannot be expanded to it's full potential although it is always exciting to see what the film crew and director have achieved with limited resources.
This fun tribute to the 80's horror films is entertaining and oozing with cheese at every corner with the added plus of horror icon Robert Englund, but it's not for everybody. I say give it whirl and see what you think.
It may surprise you.
