Jack Brooks: Monster Slayer
“...I used to be a plumber”
Certified Crap. CrapScore 59, rated by 1 admin.
Higher CrapScores mean more entertainingly bad. How we score movies.
An angry plumber attends evening classes while his professor begins a grotesque transformation. The film takes longer than its title suggests to unleash full monster combat. Robert Englund and the practical creatures provide the payoff for viewers willing to wait through the setup.
