Review of Monster Man

Monster Man (2003)
7/10
Odd mix of genres

Well, at least this movie was entertaining, and way better than "Cabin Fever". When I first saw the title, I expected something like from Werewolf (MST3K), a guy with a puffy hat driving a car.

The main guy, Adam looked like a strange mix of Jason Biggs and Matthew Fox, but was likable enough. His friend Harley was like a knock-off Jack Black mixed with Stifler.

Although the movie was uneven, jumping between (like another reviewer stated) Road Trip, Jeepers Creepers, JoyRide, Detour, Wrong Turn and The Last American Virgin.

I actually wrote down a few points to bring up to the good people of IMDb: 1.) Why was Harley wearing women's shoes? I don't even wear heels that big. 2.) Why the use of "a-hole"? They didn't hold back on any other swearing, so why stop there? 3.) Brother Bob (?) walked like he was doing the loco-motion. 4.) I'm calling for a industry-wide moratorium on the use of the pentagram as an evil symbol. Also, so she practices "witchcraft"? Why does it seem to be a scapegoat for horror movies that don't have another explanation (Curse of Michael Myers)? 5.) There's a "devils manual"? Can I get that at amazon.com? 6.) What a fortunate series of coincidences for the freaks! A virgin who happened to come along and fall into the series of strange occurrences. And also, is stated in the Ancient Texts that "someone must sleep with roadkill"? Did they have roadkill before cars? They didn't HAVE to explain it away, it just could've been a menacing prank by the Jeepers Creepers guy.

Anyway it was entertaining although uneven. Way better than Cabin Fever- I don't think it was trying to make any kind of statement, which is cool.
