Very well executed
Pretty good movie overall. First half was nothing special but it got better as it went along.
This is one of the few movies I've ever seen where the whole audience broke into spontaneous, loud applause a third of the way in.
It’s not bad or unwatchable but despite the amplitude of the spectacle, the end result is underwhelming.
This is an absolutely bad movie...and I think it was meant to be. It obviously had a shoestring budget and very limited resources, but still manages to be somewhat fun. The only real complaints I have is that I couldn't make out and understand most of the dialogue in the movie, and I saw it on DVD. The other complaint is that the picture is as bad as a very used VHS tape. I guess it was either originally shot on video tape or digital camera. It's viewable, but only barely at times.Denice Duff, Linnea Quigley, and Tom Savini are good reasons to catch this film. Duff is a major character in the movie, while Quigley and Savini have bit parts. Conrad Brooks of "Plan 9 From Outer Space" fame rounds out the minimal cast of The Monster Man.
This movie looked so much like a home video I wanted to cry. How it's getting good reviews I don't know. It looked terrible, the acting was terrible, the effects were terrible...It was just awful. Reasons why? Well, let's start with the fact it had to have been shot on digital with no budget. Then it's filled with amateurs and some of the worst b movie actors around. It's just THAT bad.
While he is no Ed Wood, Jose Prendes may be a director to reckon with in the future. "The Monster Man" is a live action comic book of continious action and kung fu. While the film is a bit overlong, there is a strong attempt to entertain. There are some comic situations that are really funny and thought out.Given the film's backyard budget, this film holds up better than so many mainstream motion picturs with superior budgets. If Prendis maintains his ensemble of actors (Quigley, Savini) and loyal crew, he may be able to create a bigger budgetted career. The potential is there.
Mister Prendes,Take a bow.Your first effort smacks of success.Liked the homage to Omega Man,Jackie Chan.Martial arts were right on and very funny dialogue.Lets review the cast: Denice Duff(congrats on Song Of The Vampire,btw),Conrad Brooks(Pally,the cue cards arent working),Tom Savini(ooooh,Dude you sooo rock!) and Linnea Quigley(a rare passable performance).
