Leave your thoughts about Jack Brooks: Monster Slayer.
| ESplatterLucius Gore'Jack Brooks' is the best horror comedy since 'Shaun of the Dead.' It's funny, sick, well-acted and surprisingly character driven. And it's ultimately Englund's performance that pulls the film out of better-than-average territory into the realm of horror |
| Filmcritic.comBlake Frenchhas the potential to spawn a successful franchise |
| Dread CentralJohnny Butane...believe the hype for Jack Brooks: Monster Slayer; this is a fun, monster-filled movie that knows exactly what it wants to be and I hope only the first of many movies in what could easily be a really kickass franchise. |
| ColeSmithey.comCole SmitheyThis old-school throwback to '80s era horror movies takes pride in the teen screams extracted by its goo-spurting, tentacled monster and his newly minted henchmen as they attack an unfortunate group of young college students. |
| Bloody DisgustingBrad MiskaMONSTER SLAYER is only the birth of Jack Brooks and I pray we'll see another dozen of these films in the future... You want laughs, action, blood, guts, slime, creatures and a kick-ass anti-hero? You'll find it all in JACK BROOKS: MONSTER SLAYER. |
| FEARnetScott WeinbergHardly the re-invention of the genre wheel, but that's fine by me. It's just a whole bunch of sick, sly, silly fun. |
| PajibaBrian PriscoThey weren't willing to go the extra Tromatic step to be juicy, and that's the biggest problem with the film. |
| VarietyJoe LeydonIndie effort evidences more energy than wit, and spends too much time on set-up before a slam-bang pay-off. |
| L.A. WeeklyChuck WilsonThis low-budget horror comedy arrives via a lively trailer and a witty print ad, yet the film itself never quite takes off. |
| IGN MoviesJason VargoThe film is a wild success. That success is attributed to three factors: Trevor Matthews (as Brooks), Englund and the monster design by David Scott. |
