Jack Brooks: Monster Slayer - Issue 62

Jack Brooks: Monster Slayer
Trevor Matthews, Robert Englund
Director: Jon Knautz
Brookstreet Pictures/Anchor Bay Ent.

Set to become a new cult classic amongst lovers of the Horror Comedy, Jack Brooks: Monster Slayer delivers a bloody and often hilarious tale of a plumber who’s unknowingly thrown into a world he’d been suppressing since his childhood - a world full of blood-thirsty monsters. Featuring the legendary Robert Englund, best known for his work as Freddy Krueger in the Nightmare on Elm Street movies, who gives a very believable performance as the passionate and often eccentric Professor Crowley and introducing Actor/Producer Trevor Matthews as our wrench-welding hero, this movie is not your average low-budget horror flick. There’s no shortage of fake blood and zombies... And did I mention it was produced by a bunch of crazy Canadians? Capitalizing on the attitude and humor that made Bruce Campbell and the Evil Dead series so popular, Jack Brooks: Monster Slayer manages to entertain from beginning to end. I can’t wait for many sequels to come.
