Monster Man

Just like any other horror (or otherwise) film studio that has existed for however many years now, they always find a way to pump out their own indie movies to make money on the side. Lionsgate Studios is no different. Jack O Lantern and Monster Man are two of the in-house movies that they have made, and they are honestly better than you could ever expect. The idea behind Monster Man is kind of stupid and outlandish, but it works and it keeps you entertained because of how polar opposite the two main idiots act in this film. The main guy Adam even looks like a down-syndrome version of my former boss. That tickles my funny bone too. The initial time that I watched this film was when I borrowed it from my horror pal Steve Carpenter about a year ago or so. I borrowed it along with Jackhammer Massacre, which is another indie, in-house horror flick from the brilliant minds at Lionsgate. Whenever I get around to grabbing a copy of that, be sure to look for a post on that film. It's a once in a life time experience that you'll never forget.

That was the gayest version of Jason I've ever seen.

When did Richard Karn get his ears pierced?

Adam is a complete wuss.

 Velcro much?

That's one helluva monster truck!!

"I feel like we just played drop the soap with Godzilla!"

Rosebud. Rosebud. Rosebud.

Gotta be the nastiest public restroom - EVER.

Yeah. Pee inside the guy's monster truck. That's an awesome idea.

Stop putting the pretzels in your ear. Just stop.

Do payphones even exist anymore?!

And... the loser of the two wins! Wait - they're both losers.

If you want to explore something else that Lionsgate has put out besides the Saw franchise, start with Monster Man. It's seriously a great time and it gets kind of weird and dark around the last 20 minutes/half hour when you find out where the guy in the monster truck lives. It's quick, it's unsettling, and there is actually a decent amount of gore in the final act as well with all the stabbings and nose bleeds and everything else that happens. Let's put it this way, the description on the front of the dvd case that states "Jeepers Creepers meets Duel in Texas Chainsaw country" is honestly pretty accurate as far as I'm concerned. You just have to throw in a really hot blonde named Sarah and two dumbass leads named Adam and Harley and you've got Monster Man. What a great time to be un-employed.
