| User ReviewWayne HYou gotta love Exodus in this movie a.k.a Sleep 'n eat! It's funny one. |
| User ReviewDaniel M"strange charecters" indeed! There's a black man in this movie who's name is Exodus and he is a TRIP! I love this one. |
| User ReviewJustin Wi give this film two stars because of the entertainment and laughter it brought me. everyone is quite stupid in this. the freaking ape kills people when you go up to his cage!!! so why on earth do people continue to walk up to its cage over and over again? some questions cant be answered and thats why this film is hilarious. |
| User ReviewCharles PThe Monster Walks is completely devoid of suspense or plausibility. |
| User ReviewWes SNot much or a monster or monkey. The plot is slow, the characters are uninteresting, and the mystery is really dull. It's not scary, and it doesn't pass for a monster film. A fairly ridiculous ending. |
| User ReviewFabien DLe film est vendu comme un bon film de monstre des 30's, avec un mechant singe qui tue tout le monde. Au final, on a une pseudo-enquete toute mollassonne et un chimpanze qui reste dans sa cage du debut à la fin, meme que des fois, il sautille en criant. Du coup, j'ai rien compris et je ne sais pas a qui etait le bras poilu qui faisait peur aux madames qui dorment. Et a la fin, le mechant essaye de fouetter le chimpanze, mais celui-ci attrape le fouet, l'utilise pour attirer le méchant vers la cage (le mechant reste cramponne au fouet comme un naze) et puis la, et ben le singe il l'etrangle a moitie en hors-champ. Le tout avec une image degueulasse et une bande son tellement abimee qu'on a l'impression que les acteurs parlent dans un aquarium. Chef d'oeuvre ! (Et je m'etais deja a moitié endormi avec The Vampire Bat, par le meme real') |
| User ReviewMichael SA sad, sad movie. I felt sorry for the "ferocious" ape, and the black chauffeur for having to be in this abysmal movie. |
| User ReviewAj VJust stupid, there's no suspense or mystery about it. |
| User ReviewBrandon SFor some reason back in the heyday of making movies the producers and writers thought that Gorillas were extremely scary. In this hour long snooze fest the antagonist is supposedly a giant gorilla. The Monster Walks from 1932 is a terribly acted and even worse, terribly scripted movie. The characters go nowhere and the terrible excuse for an ending is horrible. The movie is, from beginning to end, talking. Just five people and jive talking driver talking for an hour. The movie is about a girl who inherited an estate from her dead father. The girl's uncle and cousin come to the house to do something to try to get the house. The Uncle has some sort of weird thing going on with the girl, it is apparent in many scenes, its weird. There is something about an ape going crazy and getting out at night and strangling people. I wont ruin the movie for you but it is a weird and crazy story. The acting is atrocious, i cant put my finger on what it is exactly. I don't know if either the acting is to blame or if the writing is horrible. Maybe its a combination of the two. The actor who portrays Hanns, if he can even be considered an actor, is the worst person to read from script. I have never seen anyone as stiff as that guy! I am going to give The Monster Walks a 2 of 10. The movie fell short in a ton of areas and never picked up. Maybe better luck next time. S!D Filmed in Hollywood on a set the entire time (Who woulda thunk) The movie is public domain now that the Copyright has lapsed |
| User ReviewBruce BMonster Walk and manages to fall flat on its face. However, the biggest highlight of the film comes right after a very insensitive joke is played out or referred to a young African-American actor. This burn is worth a thousand ouches. The rest of the film is cheap, boring, unoriginal, dull, badly shot, un-thrilling, bemusing, and rubbish. The plot focuses on a bunch of uncaring characters in a mansion where an invalid man due for death is reading out his will. However, mysterious and suspicious circumstances occur as one person is found dead after another to the sound of a screaming monkey. I guess this film would be best watched if you cannot fall asleep. The body count is too low and the identity of the killer is very obvious. The film is loaded with stereotypes including our favorite hysterical white woman and the easily scare black man. Monster Walk is just terrible and should be left with broken legs. |
