I caught the second half of this film on the SciFi Channel. Bianca Nacson (Susan) seemed to be kissing her boyfriend goodbye in every other scene, and having fun. M. Emmet Walsh knew just the mood to hit for this kind of parody and kept things rolling to the end.Cool car, too. Glad the CGI monster didn't scratch it up.

I've seen this movie and despite the fact that some other people don't know how to appreciate computer effect movies, this movie delivers some cool effects especially the monster. I especially loved Tobias(Toby) Mehler's acting! His extremely good acting skills show off in this movie just like they did when he acted in the Wishmaster 3 movie as one of my favorite Archangels, the Archangel Michael!

Playful, funny, lovingly satiric, action filled story about a retired, aging B movie star, Emmet Walsh and his straight laced Grandson, Travis. Emmet lives in the small town of "New Purgatory." He is a local legend, having filmed all of the "Monster" movies there, then settling down as a resident. He is seen as slightly mad because he believes the monster from his series of movies is real, and coming to attack the town. Thing is - he's right. It's a rite of passage as he hands over the "town hero" role to his Grandson and they save the town once more.

So what if it isn't great art? Monster is fun (in a guilty way) and does not require too much thought... sometimes your intellect deserves a night off, and Monster is a good choice for that night. It is actually well written, beautifully acted, competently photographed, and properly edited, just devoid of serious content. If Monster was a junk food it would be a potato chip-- lovable, but afterwards? Who cares?
