Watch Monsters Wanted For Free

Overrated

Blending excellent reporting and strong storytelling, this is a disturbing film truly stranger than fiction

Each character in this movie — down to the smallest one — is an individual rather than a type, prone to spontaneous changes of mood and sometimes amusing outbursts of pettiness or ill humor.

Blistering performances.

Entertaining behind the scenes documentary on Asylum Haunted Scream Park. The site is a sprawling 40 acres outside Louisville, with four dedicated horror areas. Doc follows Rich and Janel, a well adjusted enough couple, and their labors to get everything in place before opening day. Surprise visits by inspectors, backstabbing rival horror parks, rain and more rain, temperamental actors - including one who seems borderline certifiable, complaining business partners, equipment malfunctions, running out of money, as the opening deadline shrinks from months to weeks to days to hours. You wonder how they can possibly get it done. Will hold your interest from start to finish, might even plant the urge to get out Halloween night. For anyone who is a repeat customer of haunted parks, for anyone who ever worked a Midnight Mansion, for anyone who took a stab creating their own Death House*, this film ought to be in your queue.

Monsters Wanted covers the subject of the hunted house industry thoroughly. I had no idea it was as big as it was on this independent level. Some aspects of this movie were based on bold decisions to make keeping the best content the top priority. One man's face is blurred out and his voice is distorted. As you watch the movie the reason for this is clear and only adds to the impact of what is going on. Some filmmakers would have cut this person out of the documentary, I am glad they did not. The most interesting thing that occurred to me was that in many ways the process of gearing up for the haunted attraction and then operating it was similar to film production. This documentary also had high production value. So I recommend that you answer the call for Monsters Wanted.Review by Curt Wiser, Writer-Director of Web-Cam (AKA Cam-Girl)

Before I go forward with this review I feel I must point out that I am not a big fan, nor follower, of Holloween or Horrer culture. Also I am not the biggest fan of documentaries. With that being said this was actually a very good film. I seen it at the world premiere held at fandom fest in Louisville Ky. I found myself submerged in the people drama, as well as being very intrigued with the underground culture that surrounds me. Between the nail biting deadlines that the characters were trying to make and the education I was receiving in the world of haunted houses, this film very much caught my attention. It was funny, dramatic and even through all the blood, guts and gore, when it was all said and done managed to be heartwarming. I really enjoyed this film and have already recommend it to friends.

I love documentaries, this one especially because I'm from Louisville & I support anything that makes Louisville more of a major city. Events like Fandom Fest (where the movie was first shown), building places like the KFC Yum center & even much smaller things like local Halloween haunted houses, all work together to create a wonderful city. Without giving anything about the movie away, it's a documentary that capture's a moment in peoples life's, where they say 'enough is enough, I'm all in". It's not scary, except for their money issue, there isn't anything haunting them or spooky ghosts in the woods. Well worth a watch, especially from people that live in LOUISVILLE. You gotta support your city, or your hurting it, by just standing around.
