The Monster Club

Rating:
Summary: More than beyond the worst
Review: I only had to watch 5 minutes of this movie to know what it was going to be like. Humans and monsters as friends is just impossible. Also, the monsters aren't classic (like Dracula is just chatting away) instead of everyone being more scary they're just like humans themselves, only worse... You don't even have to look at this review to know what it's like. Nude people, more than human-like monsters, and the plot and action make this movie the lone star of the losers of the world of horror videos. One last time, I urge you: DON'T WATCH THIS MOVIE FOR YOUR OWN GOOD. Even if you didn't watch it you'll be glad.

Summary: 60's throwback - but fun!
Review: It's hard to believe this film was made in 1980 - that's after the exorcist, after texas chainsaw massacre, after many of the gory italian horrors - yet here the monster club is made in the authentic style of the amicus horror films of the 60's.
it's no surprise it wasn't a big success.
but looking back now, it's great fun - and a great tribute to those films.
there are problems, the monsters in the club itself look awful.
in an interview vincent price revealed that they were actually made for a pittance by a milkman - really!
the songs date it also, yet at the same time provide part of the charm.
as ever the main attraction is the stories themselves. surprisingly only one story (the ghostly village) is from the original book of the monster club. all the others are either totally different, or altered a fair bit - i've no idea why they didn't adapt the stories from the book - such as the story of the boy who becomes a werewolf without knowing it, and falls in love with a vampire girl - without knowing that either.
having said that the stories here are still very good.
so it's reccomended for fans of similar films - just don't expect a bloodbath!

Summary: Monsters Rule O.K?
Review: Man, I love this film and the comentary by L.Y.T. makes it ten times cooler! Vincent Price dances with Rocky Horror's own (Trannie) Fran Fullenwider. The Shadmock tale is great since the dude has no makeup(the effects were done by a milk man) and he was ment to be scary. I love how Price kept a straight face when explaining the monster hierarchy.

Summary: excellent
Review: This is an excellent movie. Yes, as the reviewer below me stes, it is meant to be a spoof, and as such, it excels. I have not much to add, except that its brilliance is found in its ability to make us laugh and be scared at the same time. This film is artistically silly (which sounds outlandish, but that's the only way to put it) and effectively scary. You'll be smiling and shivering, what else could you want.
