disgusting, overrated, pointless
It's a movie as timely as it is provocative and amazingly, for much of its running time, it is weirdly funny.
View MoreI had a great time watching this. It's utterly charming. Never gets boring at any point. It's gently comedic, but I have to say I laughed out loud at many parts. The acting is spot-on for a feature of this kind. Now, when I say "of this kind" I'm not even really sure what I'm supposed to be comparing it to. Most things I could suggest, such as higher end Troma would be doing it a dis-respect. It's a very clever and ultimately "warm" movie that proves very endearing and memorable once the credits have rolled. I rated this based purely on how much I enjoyed my time with it, and it's a movie that I will definitely watch again.
View MoreThis makes a nice bookend to Scream. Both directors and screenwriters profoundly understood the clichés of the genres (juvenile/high school horror/slasher flicks in the first case and 50's/60's Grade Z small-town alien/monster flicks in the case of Monster!). The plot is brilliant; the characters are likable and fun (except for the white, mentally-challenged ebonics boyz, who are just fun). The movie bogs a little in the straight action and suspense scenes, but this is more than made-up for by the side-splitting satirical humor--the best lines are all delivered by the inimitable M. Emmet Walsh (his opening monologue to his grandson in the "gun" room is a true high point in the history of monster films). I was a little disappointed in the Monster, but, really, he's kind of peripheral to the main point and the main fun in the movie, so he's bearable. Just remember folks, this is NOT scary; it's supposed to be a kick.
View MoreThis is one of those movies that could only happen in a town where they filmed a 1950s Horror movie and it's sequels. The director is in a local psyco ward of the hospital. Every 3 or 5 years (please forgive my memory) the monster re-emerges and goes on a 2 day killing spree. Well a only few days before the monster is scheduled to come out of hibernation, the grandson comes and gets his grandfather out of the looney bin, of course he doesn't believe his story but says he will care for him. Gramps keeps trying to convince him things will keep happening according to the original old movie script(of course he doesn't believe him, it's still according to the script). Well if you put your brain in neutral for a bit you can actually find it has a sort of twisted logic(kind of). But, the whole thing is it's meant to be a Horror B-movie, so enjoy it for what it for what it's meant to be and enjoy it you will. My husband and laughed and had got a bit nostalgic(ok maybe we're a bit twisted), but I really would give it 8 Stars. Eat popcorn and enjoy.
View MoreContrary to other reviewers who obviously don't "get" the concept of Monsters!, this film is a delightfully funny two hours of poking fun at every stereotype you've ever seen in a scary movie. Monsters! revels in not taking itself seriously, and spoofing the ridiculous repetitiveness so often seen in "real" monster movies. Watch this film like you watched the 1998 Godzilla re-make and you'll have a rip-roaring good time. How refreshing!!!
