Review of The Monster Squad (1987) by Dan D — 07 Dec 2011
I love this movie, It's basically The Goonies vs the Universal monsters and it's very entertaining and a lot of fun. I hadn't seen it in years and it still holds up for me, the makeup effects and monster designs are fantastic, especially the Mummy and the Gillman.
The film breezes along and at only 82 minutes, it's short and sweet. Of course this is very 80's and there are some cheesy moments complete with a montage set to an awful song but that's to be expected as it's a pop film released in 1987.
A lot of the appeal here is probably nostalgia but I don't care.
