Review of The Monster Squad (1987) by Robert A — 14 Sep 2008
I can't recommend this enough. I noticed the original Castlevania and this film came out the same year. I find the similarities of the game series and events in this movie very funny. Alucard is Dracula spelled backwards.
.how could I have missed that. They found an amulet behind a wall. You break walls in the Castlevania series all the time to find stuff..sometimes Amulets. All of the monsters in this movie have appeared in the Castlevania series.
Most of them in the first Castlevania even. It was PG-13 for a good reason and puts that rating to good use. This movie was full of epic win although some might call it cheesy, I found the writing to be spot on in places and as an 82 minute movie it's hard to find a better one of it's kind.
Dare I say this is as good as or better than The Goonies is my book?...It's close..right up there.
