Comwayon A Disappointing Continuation

Griff Lees Very good movie overall, highly recommended. Most of the negative reviews don't have any merit and are all pollitically based. Give this movie a chance at least, and it might give you a different perspective.

Curt Watching it is like watching the spectacle of a class clown at their best: you laugh at their jokes, instigate their defiance, and "ooooh" when they get in trouble.

Peter Swanson If the cast hadn't played this film absolutely seriously it wouldn't have worked, but they did, so it does. M. Emmet Walsh is the focus and anchor of the story, and is perfect in the role, as I'd expect from one of our greatest character actors. The premise -- that the movie monster created decades earlier by Walsh actually lives -- is ridiculous, but, like any good science fiction, is acceptable as long as we're led to it in a logical manner. Because the film is played straight, we're free both to accept and to laugh at it. I'm not sure I'm imparting how enjoyable this film is. Another reviewer referred to it as "snack food," and I agree. It's snack food with some substance however, like a big Snickers with protein from the peanuts, as opposed to Wal-Mart potato chips. I'd watch it again, if only for some of the quotable dialogue.

matt caldwell This movie wasn't that bad. It was not intended to be taken as a serious horror flick. It was a movie that was in many ways making fun of the obvious stereotypes that are present in horror films of the current and past eras. Haven't we all wondered why the people in movies tend to move towards the darkest places....or why do people always go check out that mysterious noise instead of staying the hell away from it and minding their own business? On top of that, the plot was something similar to that of what you see in the Scream trilogy and the Urban Legend movies. What would happen if the movies started coming to life? This movie gives one answer. If you ask me, it was a much better movie than many I've seen...and it kind of has a Stephen King Langolier's feel to it. If it had been a bigger budget, it might have been a little better quality, but it was still a good movie anyway. At any point, any true fan of horror movies or B movies would enjoy this movie. When i saw it....i endured the commercials to see it, and enjoyed it.

quantumcat I like this movie; I always like bad creature features, so I rented this one. As it turns out to be, it's one of the better onces I've seenTo me it watches like an ode to the (early) 50's monster movies (e.g. the Blob, with Steve McQueen) so instead of having the cliché's dragging the movie down, the writer(s) turn(s) the effect of the clichés around, by putting them to good use; kind of like Wes Craven did in "Scream". SO in this case: the hero drives a Hot Rod and wears his school' Jock jacket and so...Next to that , the acting is good, the pace is fast, tension is built as tension should built, the special effects look great (given the age, the budget AND the fact that it's a TV movie). I'll be honest: it's not "predator" , it's not "the eye". it's a small flick with good acting, good story with a great pitch that makes it stand out from the rest. All you need as a good evening's entertainment!

linvillefamily Contrary to other reviewers who obviously don't "get" the concept of Monsters!, this film is a delightfully funny two hours of poking fun at every stereotype you've ever seen in a scary movie. Monsters! revels in not taking itself seriously, and spoofing the ridiculous repetitiveness so often seen in "real" monster movies. Watch this film like you watched the 1998 Godzilla re-make and you'll have a rip-roaring good time. How refreshing!!!
