Jack Brooks: Monster Slayer
This was another one of the movies we watched during Halloween that I described in my previous blog entry. However, unlike all the other movies that they chose to watch that they were expecting to be really bad, including Santa's Slay which turned out to actually pretty decent, Jack Brook: Monster Slayer was supposed to be the one good horror movie for the night. But this one was actually pretty horrible. And largely due to the opposite reason that Santa's Slay was good. Where as Santa's Slay starts right out with Santa going on a bloody rampage and doesn't let up too much for the rest of the movie, Jack Brooks never slays any monsters until about the very end of the movie.
This reminded me a lot of Slither, a movie that quite a few people seemed to love as well, but I really did not find any enjoyment. These movies are based on total grossout monsters that aren't really scary at all, but just nasty. There are really bad B-movie style jokes and dialogue. People sure seem to like Robert Englund too, and I guess if you like seeing him be really weird and gross then this would appeal to you.
I would have never thought to see this on my own, so I don't have too much else to say.
