Last eve, I indulged myself in a DVD that a friend had lent me. He said that he had rented it, watched it, and promptly decided that he had to own it. He bought himself a copy when he returned the rental to the video store. The movie.... Was
Monster Man.
At first glance, I couldn't help but think of Carnasaur. However, my friend said it was much, much better and that a Horror fan like me would be pleased. I wanted to watch it right away (the cover tantalized me) but it was getting late, so I held off. Last night, when Lisa and her bf went to the mall to return some Giftmas crap, I popped the DVD into my player. Within about 15 minutes of the beginning of the film, I was in love with Fuckface and his Truck.
Now, don't get me wrong, this flick definitely boasts it's fair share of cheese. However, for a recently made attempt at a Horror film (HorrorCom would be a more appropriate classification), it's pretty decent as far as those things go. At least nobody has sex in the woods! The gore was incredible, and it was reasonably well-acted (with the exception of "Sarah", who looked about 43 years old under certain lighting). All in all, an immensely enjoyable film. The victims die in all sorts of ways, including Death By Monster Truck.
When Lisa and Justin arrived home, I actually watched it over again, followed by the episode of Family Guy in which Peter wishes he had no bones.
