Actually looks pretty cool. Hopefully the film doesn't have too much CGI.

MorallySound · 01-28-2008, 06:44 PM

That looks like it'll be a good time!

The movie looks like an R-rated male version of the Buffy episode "Bad Eggs" crossed with Slither.

Not that concept is a bad idea, but...

Looks like a movie that is trying to be a cult classic, as opposed to a movie that becomes one. The latter is always better.

I saw this a couple of weeks ago, pretty good but a bit oddly paced. It takes quite a while to get to any monster slaying, but from what I read this is supposed to just be kind of an origin story to set up the character for future monster slaying adventures so I guess it's a little more excusable.

I did like the Jack Brooks character (thanks to the actor who played him) and Robert Englund was actually quite hilarious. I really didn't like the main monster in the movie, way too silly for me, but apart from that I enjoyed it a pretty good amount.

I understand this is supposed to be released Oct 7th, and that Best Buy has a two disc exclusive, just like they had with the release of the Dead Pit. I seen the trailers and I am really looking forward to buying/seeing this flick. It just looks fun and gory!!

It looks like it'll be fun to watch. I can't wait.
