Ben Robins HeyUGuys Cheap, cheerful and tonally on point, this feels like the crazy little British monster movie that could. Rated: 4/5 Jun 5, 2019 Full Review Bobby LePire Film Threat The awe-inspiring special effects for its monsters, the solid acting, and the kinetic directing work together to craft this loving tribute to the horror films of the 1980s into a most enjoyable experience. Rated: 7/10 Apr 11, 2019 Full Review Mark R. Leeper Mark Leeper's Reviews Lots of horror effects can be used to spice up a scary movie, but they cannot sustain it. Rated: 6/10 Apr 4, 2019 Full Review Molly Henery The Blogging Banshee Book of Monsters certainly delivers on the monsters and gore with a classic 80's aesthetic, while also giving audiences a fun and compelling story. Rated: 6.5/10 Apr 3, 2019 Full Review Jeffrey Lyles Lyles' Movie Files While it's not isn't high class horror, it's well worth checking out for fans of horror films that appreciate good laughs along with the gore. Rated: 7.5/10 Mar 22, 2019 Full Review Jennie Kermode Eye for Film [Stewart] Sparke bites off a bit more than he can chew with the monster rampage. Rated: 2/5 Mar 18, 2019 Full Review Read all reviews

Emilliano S Horrible monster effects, terrible acting, rubbish film. Rated 0.5 out of 5 stars 03/19/23 Full Review brad p ‘Book of Monsters' is a Real Page-Turner Rated 3.5 out of 5 stars 03/31/23 Full Review Audience Member What is there to say about this movie, these fine actors deserve an award, ney, a Nobel peace price for this mind altering piece of world class filmography. If I had not have seen this very movie I believe I will not have been the same open minded individual I am before you however, without this movie in question I would not have these many restless nights tossing and turning in my bed with the very thought of these terrifying monsters that haunt my very being. Rated 5 out of 5 stars 02/24/23 Full Review Audience Member 75% from critics on rotten tomatoes.....HOW HOW Seriously the worst acted British movie I’ve ever seen and not the least bit funny this is not a matter of opinion this movie sucks Rated 1 out of 5 stars 12/18/20 Full Review Audience Member I didn't know until after the movie was over that it was a Kickstarter film, but that to totally explains the slight amateur feel I was getting the whole time. It's not all bad, in fact it's kind of fun, and I love the use of practical effects and the love for the genre that's on display. It just felt like they had a really good idea here, that they squandered with gimmicks. It made a lot of the beats kind of cringey. It sucks, because you could tell their heart was in the right place. I think this team could really deliver something noteworthy if they weren't tied down to a silly campaign. Rated 2.5 out of 5 stars 08/17/20 Full Review Audience Member Very low budget film with horrible acting, but, the storyline was enough to keep me watching. Definitely would NOT watch it again though. Rated 3 out of 5 stars 04/24/20 Full Review Read all reviews
