Cheap, cheerful and tonally on point, this feels like the crazy little British monster movie that could.

Rated: 4/5

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.

Lots of horror effects can be used to spice up a scary movie, but they cannot sustain it.

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

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.

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.

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.

Very low budget film with horrible acting, but, the storyline was enough to keep me watching. Definitely would NOT watch it again though.
