Andy B Mar 22 There are films which create characters that inspire us, that enrapture us and amuse us. Other films create characters so irritating that they ruin the whole film. Monster Man is one of the latter. Let’s start with the positives. Acting is competent. Special effects are good. Dialogue sounds as though it was written by someone who has actually taken part in conversations. The plot is not exactly groundbreaking, but moves along at a reasonable pace and doesn’t always go where you expect. This is not ever going to be high art, but at its core it’s not a bad film. The ruining factor is Harley. A character so obnoxious and irritating that he drags the entire film down. This kind of character is one that is only found funny by people who are like Harley. And those people are arrogant, ignorant bullies. Removing Harley from the film would affect it as positively as removing Jar Jar Binks from the universe.

This movie gives it up for the gore effects and that's what this genre needed. It borrows heavily from The Texas Chainsaw Massacre franchise, but that's okay. It also hearkens back to House of 1000 Corpses by Rob Zombie, but actually came out the same year as that overrated series. The scenes in the bar where there are a few dozen amputees was startlingly evocative for the movie, and although it really led to just car chases with a monster truck that was more like a Transformers bot, it drew a lot of chuckles from the sister and brother of the Monster Man maniac. The end where he's just a pile of blood and guts trying to still kill the heroes was really cool, with the tongue that still mocks them as they walked away. I thought this movie was great, and it would have been good to see more like it. This last year, we got a lot of new horror movies, many from Shudder, but for the days before the franchise movie studios took over, this was a real gem.

The humour is occasionally forced and weak but it's energetic enough to never be boring. See more 12/23/2012 It is so stupid that it is funny. See more 10/04/2012 More comedy than horror. I will say this, for a movie that is about a monster in a monster truck, it's far better than you would expect. This is probably the best movie you can make about a killer driving around killing people with a monster truck. It's predictable, it's silly, it's cheesy, and it offers nothing new to the genre, but... IT'S ABOUT A MONSTER IN A MONSTER TRUCK! I would say this is the best monster in a monster truck movie I've ever seen by far. See more Read all reviews
