‘Jack Brooks: Monster Slayer’

The film’s title made me all slappy-happy. As a kid, this is the kind of movie I loved. Anything  with the word “monster” in it’s title  and I was  there.

After he witnesses the brutal murder of his family, Jack Brooks (Trevor Matthews)  is left with an  inner rage that he constantly fights to control. Jack now works as a local plumber, is in a bad relationship with his girlfriend Eve, and takes night classes at the local university. One night, Jack attempts to fix his professor’s old, rusted pipes, but unknowingly  unleashes a baddie. Lured by this demonic power, Professor Crowley (Englund) discovers a monstrous black heart that quickly forces its way inside of him, turning him into -SURPRISE!-  a gruesome monster. Jack realizes he can’t run from his past, and quickly discovers the true purpose of his inner rage.

It premiered at the Slamdance Film Festival back in January and the filmmakers and actors hosted a panel discussion this past week at Comic Con. Now, here’s the exciting news.  In Hollywood, there’s a special showing at midnight on August 12th at the Hollywood Forever Cemetery! You can  see the movie with a buncha dead people….Its like watching JAWS while floating around in the ocean. What a way to end the summer!

Check out Jack Brooks official website  too! The movie opens on August 15th.
