Kristina Faricelli Sensational! Loved it! It's hilarious, crazy insane, scary, and romantic all wrapped up in one movie. Buying 2 DVDs to give as gifts.The entire movie was a blast to watch and the intro was unlike anything I've seen before. The creative minds behind this movie are geniuses and the actors/actresses made it a huge hit. They really know how to keep you on the edge of your seat.Another added bonus is the musical score composition which was exceptionally written and executed in prime form. The movie wouldn't have been the same without it. There's nothing quite as fun as music that gets your blood pumping and has you wondering whether to grab a pillow to cover your eyes or gets you to scream before the scene actually unravels. This movie is a total package! Ten stars all the way.

ASouthernHorrorFan Costume monsters, cheesy one-liners, and over-the-top characters are usually a recipe for disaster-and not in the good, "we all love a good disaster"-way. However "Love In The Time Of Monsters" finds that magic sweet spot that brings all this madness together beautifully. Writer Michael Skvarla expresses a mildly genius ability to create a story that is fun, full of energy, and fast- paced with characters and situations that are truly entertaining. The fact that Matt Jackson took that vision and brought it to life in such a clever way, blending classic 80's styled humor, and special effects while giving a true to now experience is phenomenal. "Love In The Time Of Monsters" is really beyond the basic indie monster movie, and proves there are still plenty of original stories alive in horror. The story itself sets up a group of vacationers and residents at a wilderness tourist trap against some pretty unnatural circumstances. Toxic waste, viral mutants, and nature gone wild bring mayhem and carnage to the great outdoors. A Bigfoot themed, All-American vacation spot with a Croatian-American owner, Bigfoot costumes, plenty of bad one-liners, zombie critters, and human mutants make "Love In The Time Of Monsters" a fun, witty horror/comedy that plays on both classic and modern concepts of relationships, love and horror. So much of this film and the direction taken to bring it to life should have and could have went wrong but somehow it all comes together to make one pretty awesome movie.The acting is tight, with quick dialog delivered on time by a cast that brings their A game. The story is really does have a bit of everything mixed in with an almost slasher-esque atmosphere and setting, zombie/mutants, gore, comedy, even some boobs pop out in a "Zombeavers" like moment of bloody fun. There are a few moments where dialog falls flat, and characters step a bit over the line of authenticity but well over 95% of everything written and given in "Love In The Time Of Monsters" is just so on point and great that the flubs just don't matter much. The special effects are, as I said, a big ole bag of practical awesomeness with blood, guts, and gore. There is a tiny bit of CGI that does cheapen a one or two moments in the film but considering "Love In The Time Of Monsters" is a film with flesh-eating mutants running around in Bigfoot costumes, zombie wildlife, and characters who seem too cool for school in that comedy way, the CGI is not a big downer. Plus most of the effects in this thing are old school, organic methods of monster movie making that, thanks to killer directing, writing, and clever acting, give one entertaining viewing experience.The soundtrack and sound effects are pure energy. The hard rock, heavy metal soundtrack takes the atmosphere up a notch while feeling reminiscent of classic 80's horror. The sound effects offer up atmospheric chills that are both dark and fun. Overall "Love In The Time Of Monsters" is a great indie monster movie. Even the "real" Bigfoot makes an appearance to save the day. He is a bit costume-y, but much like the animatronic critters and tongue-in-cheek dialog, it just works. This is a film that all of horror's fans, both the hardcore "dark material" fans and the horror comedy fans. Definitely check out "Love In The Time Of Monsters", it is a film that you don't expect to be so damn good but it just is!

luckigrl1971 For this Genera, comedy/horror Go into this film knowing what you want...To Laugh, at morbid things basically. It was perfect, with great acting, the storytelling was very well done, it carried the film all the way beginning until the end. The fact that I didn't know the story prior, was the best part, the shock-factor was really good( I had no clue what was going to happen & I have seen thousands of films)The film is more comedy than horror, it is meant to be cheesy and to not be taken seriously, and I didn't, I laughed, and laughed and laughed and laughed out loud so many times, it was a Super Fun Film to watch! Incredibly Entertaining! And In My Opinion, that is why I watch Movies...It Was Fantastic!

arfdawg-1 The Plot.Two sisters travel to a cheesy tourist trap where they battle toxic monsters dressed in Bigfoot costumes in order to save the ones they love.Not n especially original plot.BUT it's well done.Sharply written and directed.Well edited.It moves along quickly.Yes, some of the story line is muddled, but with all the horrible movies being made out there. it's good to see a film that is at least a little fresh.
