Review of The Monster Squad (1987) by Hatch T — 09 Nov 2009

6/10 The monster squad takes the typical formula used for almost all the 80s pre teen movies and combines it with classic monsters, the result is a somehow flawed movie, that strangely somehow works in a weird and unusual way.

The movie has lots of similarities with the Goonies, but the use of monsters like the creature from the black lagoon and the Frankenstein monster makes this movie feel fresh. It is not great, at moments it can be too childish or too stupid to be watched, but it has some funny moments and the story is fast paced and interesting.
