Jack Brooks: Monster Slayer [DVD]

excellent best movie this is why I purchased it and would recommend it to anyone. The price is good and couldn't find it anywhere but Best Buy, Thank you

Wow, this movie caught me by surprise. I picked it up mainly 'cuz I'm a sucker for anything with Robert (Freddy Krueger) Englund in it, no matter how low-budget or campy it might be... and this movie is both of those things. But don't get me wrong, I mean that that in a good way. The production looks great for what they were working with. The monster effects are solid and have this kinda cartoony look to them(intentionally). Reminded me of something out of Peter Jackson's "Dead Alive". It shows how good filmmakers can make a movie look great, even without truck-loads of money. It's called dedication and artistry. And as for the campyness, well, it rings similar to the Horror movies from my childhood that I love, like "Evil Dead 2" or "Monster Squad". It's just, all and all a good- -old-fashioned horror flick with a lot of great humor thrown in for good measure. Solid horror, solid FX, solid acting and it has a great feel to it. It's just plain fun. The only complaint that I have about this movie, is that it wasn't long enough, but then again, all the good ones never are(or don't seem like it). But at least the ending leaves room for a sequel, so... If you're looking for some entertainment this Halloween, I'd definitely recommend this movie to anyone who knows, and loves their horror flicks. Because this one's for us.
