| Creative LoafingMatt BrunsonExactly the sort of low-budget picture one would expect to be the calling card of a young kid weaned on classic movies and tattered issues of Famous Monsters of Filmland. |
| User ReviewScott MThis was the 1st dvd I ever bought and I didn't even have a dvd player. I knew nothing about it and I was not one bit disappointed when I finally got to watch it. Classic. One of my favorites of all time. I can get tired of watching Pee Wee's big adventure. but never this one. One of my favorite scenes is when Joe Putzman goes to shake the guys hand. |
| User ReviewPrivate UNot for everyone. Described by many as bland... all I can say is that I was in stitches rolling on the floor. It caters for my sense of humour. |
| User ReviewRod GSuper low-budget directorial debut for John Landis. Some will think it one of the worst movies ever made, others will find it very quirky and funny. I'm in the latter camp. It also has one of the earliest sp fx make ups by the great make up artist Rick Baker. The Schlock boogie is one of the funniest movie scenes from the 70's. |
| User ReviewSpookie MJohn Landis' first film is a madcap work of genius |
| User ReviewRonda FMore than just parody, Mack Sennett creature feature. More poetic than Burton. Sillier too. |
| User ReviewPeter CCheap and cheesy, this is the equivalent of a kid set loose with a camcorder today. But in this case, the kid is John Landis in the days before he was crap. Some of the scenes are absolute gold. |
| User ReviewAnthony JJohn Landis wrote, directed and starred in his first film, a monster movie parody about a monkey man who falls in love with a girl who was blind but just had an operation to give her sight. It is goofy, it is madness, and it is fun. Landis when on to direct many well-known features, but his first is a rarely seen goof on corny monster movies with some solid gags throughout. I enjoyed this, found it funny, and thought Rick Baker's early work was surprisingly good considering how early in his career this really is and how small the budget must've been. |
| User ReviewIan RIt's John Landis's first movie made with no money. It's goofy but amusing. |
| User ReviewChris WA monkey type monster falls inlove with a blind girl who in return thinks he is just a big dog of cause this monkey has been terrorizing the neighborhood and once he kidnaps the girl things finally go to far cause now the army is finally after him and aims to bring this bad monkey down. One of the earlier films of John Landis is also not a bad one this of course is made as a spoof and some of the jokes fall flat but its a goofy good time for anyone that wants to check it out. |
