Furry Schlockthropus man wakes up after 20 million years and kills picnickers for their bananas.

[F]or all the amateurishness on display, there is something about its earnest goofiness that allows one to forgive its occasional dull moments and misfired gags.

The humor is honest; it's not superimposed to hide weakness.

Exactly the sort of low-budget picture one would expect to be the calling card of a young kid weaned on classic movies and tattered issues of Famous Monsters of Filmland.

This is not a horror film or indeed a good film. Rubbish.

‘Schlock’ is a terrific spoof of b-horror/sci-fi that pays homage to everything from ‘Frankenstein’ to ‘The Blob’ and more. It’s a great debut from John Landis that really shows his love of classic creature features.
