Critics' reviews

"As a horror-comedy, it boldly declines to scare or amuse."

Michael Ordoña: San Francisco Chronicle
"This low-budget horror comedy arrives via a lively trailer and a witty print ad, yet the film itself never quite takes off."

Chuck Wilson: LA Weekly
"Harks back to the drive-in classics of yesteryear with unapologetic nostalgia and undisguised affection."

Jeannette Catsoulis: The New York Times
"Indie effort evidences more energy than wit, and spends too much time on set-up before a slam-bang pay-off."

Joe Leydon: Variety
"Cheerfully gross, deliberately retro horror picture pays tongue-in-cheek homage to the kind of genre movies Charles Band and Roger Corman's companies turned out in the 1980s."

TV Guide
"Matthews is supposed to be the star here, but it's Englund's hilarious, over-the-top performance that keeps Jack Brooks: Monster Slayer, by director Jon Knautz, from becoming another forgettable exercise in horror."

V.A. Musetto: New York Post
