Good old fashioned rubber practicle effects. Modern day cheesy B movie nonsense, and just as enjoyable as that sounds. Looks and feels like it was made in the late 80's and there's nothing wrong with that. More please.

the title is quite misleading, it actually doesn't get into the monster slaying until about 10 min. are left. the time leading up to the rather disappointing ending really caught me off guard, the acting isn't bad and the special effects are definitely watchable. it is however lacking in character development and decent plot, let's face it if you're thinking about watching this you just want to watch a horror movie you haven't seen yet, if that's the case then its not the worst you could pick

Has old school-style special effects (this means no CGI), an awesome story, and is short and straight to the point. Is pretty amusing too. Tells the story of a guy named Jack, who has anger managament issues due to the death of his family at the hands of a monster. Something happens and it all spirals out of control from there. I wish more of the new wave of horror movies was this much fun. If Troma films had huge budgets, this is EXACTLY what they would be like.

Way way too much exposition and scene setting before anything really happens and when stuff finally does happen it's all over. Not nearly eventful enough for the type of fun film it wants to be.

Simply not enough monsters. The monsters did look fantastic when we get to see them, though. Englund's eventual demon form was creepy and nasty as hell. Too bad all the monster slaying came at the very very end of the movie.

The title is misleading as it is really the story of Jack realizing his potential and finally becoming a monster slayer only at the very end. It has a good sense of humor, which is pretty much essential in low-budget horror like this. The effects are quite good for a low-budget. It is really made for fans of cheesy horror, which I am, and I had a fun ride with this movie.

Oh my gosh this was so bad. I have no idea why they tried to set up a plot. Obviously if I'm watching a movie called "Jack Brooks: Monster Slayer" I want to see slayed monsters. There were NONE for the first 3/4s of the movie! Shoulda just skipped to the end. Gah. Such high hopes too! I love monsters!

Incredibly campy. Some of it's funny but I never found it funnier than a mild chuckle. Yes it's better than your average horror movie out there but it's nothing remarkable by any standard. It's at least entertaining though so watching it isn't a chore.

Didn't laughed only one time. This one is bad, even for a fun splatter.

"For artistic representation, Jack Brooks: Monster Slayer gets a near-perfect score, less so for its restrained sense of fun." - Ed Gonzalez

"Hardly the re-invention of the genre wheel, but that's fine by me. It's just a whole bunch of sick, sly, silly fun."

It's trying way too hard to be the kind of movie where the unlikely schlub becomes the big hero, and it really doesn't work. It's silly but really, it ends up feeling forced and by the end of the movie, you're still waiting for development to happen. I respect the try, but it doesn't succeed.

"...the best horror comedy since 'Shaun of the Dead.' It's funny, sick, well-acted and surprisingly character driven."
