David B. @RT14283473 1d Not the least bit funny in the first 11 minutes, too annoying to continue! See more Steven F. @SteveGotScored Feb 25 This horror movie was a hidden gem! See more TheMovieSearch R @TheMovieSearch Dec 26 Monster Man is an older horror-comedy that ultimately falls flat. The story takes far too long to gain traction, and when the titular "monster" element finally appears, it’s oddly executed and fails to captivate. The film’s pacing is uneven, dragging through unnecessary exposition that diminishes suspense. Acting is inconsistent at best—some performances verge on over-the-top caricature while others are flat and unconvincing, leaving little connection to the characters. The screenplay struggles to balance horror and humor, leaning heavily into cheesiness without charm or wit. The creature design itself is underwhelming, making the central premise feel weak and uninspired. Despite being a product of its era, the film doesn’t capture the fun or campiness expected from older horror-comedies. Overall, Monster Man is frustratingly slow, poorly acted, and lacks engagement, making it a movie I’d advise skipping.

Other films create characters so irritating that they ruin the whole film. Monster Man is one of the latter. Let’s start with the positives. Acting is competent. Special effects are good. Dialogue sounds as though it was written by someone who has actually taken part in conversations. The plot is not exactly groundbreaking, but moves along at a reasonable pace and doesn’t always go where you expect. This is not ever going to be high art, but at its core it’s not a bad film. The ruining factor is Harley. A character so obnoxious and irritating that he drags the entire film down. This kind of character is one that is only found funny by people who are like Harley. And those people are arrogant, ignorant bullies. Removing Harley from the film would affect it as positively as removing Jar Jar Binks from the universe.

This movie gives it up for the gore effects and that's what this genre needed. It borrows heavily from The Texas Chainsaw Massacre franchise, but that's okay. It also hearkens back to House of 1000 Corpses by Rob Zombie, but actually came out the same year as that overrated series. The scenes in the bar where there are a few dozen amputees was startlingly evocative for the movie, and although it really led to just car chases with a monster truck that was more like a Transformers bot, it drew a lot of chuckles from the sister and brother of the Monster Man maniac. The end where he's just a pile of blood and guts trying to still kill the heroes was really cool, with the tongue that still mocks them as they walked away. I thought this movie was great, and it would have been good to see more like it. This last year, we got a lot of new horror movies, many from Shudder, but for the days before the franchise movie studios took over, this was a real gem.
