Meet Jack Brooks, not a great plumber, but one hell of a monster slayer. As a young child, Jack Brooks witnesses a massacre of his entire family, by something not human. Years later he finds himself with an incredibly bad temper and in a class he hates, with a girlfriend he hates and a therapist who drives him nuts. Unfortunately Jack’s teacher Professor Crowley accidentally unleashes an ancient evil, and transforms into a hideous man-eating monster.
I really enjoyed this one! Not only is Jack Brooks: Monster Slayer a well assembled film with some great production values, its also loaded with tons of monsters and a good amount of gore. Did I mention that this is probably the best role Robert Englund has done in years? His wacky and bumbling character absolutely steals the screen!
Jack Brooks: Monster Slayer was a truly entertaining movie, with a talented cast and a really solid storyline. If your a fan of horror comedies than this one is for you!
