Cheese for the please!

Cheesy. Goofy. Low budget. Yes, "Monster In The Closet" is a silly Horror/Comedy but it's damn entertaining and could teach a lesson to modern B-movie film makers.

I remember watching this movie frequently on the USA Network back in the mid 90's. It was a recurring movie but it made it's impact in the early 90's as a cult Troma flick. If I remember correctly, this one always aired after "Girls School Screamers".

Anyways, "Monster In The Closet" believe it or not, shares some scenes and ideas with Disney's "Monsters Inc." so you go figure... The movie displays every child's worst nightmare: having a monster living in the closet. While the monster in the movie is very goofy, it is still fun to watch. In the end, you can't feel but sorry for his demise. A la Godzilla! This movie should be watched for it's cult status and for nostalgic reasons. Don't expect cool f/x, make-up, plot, or even score. Expect a cheese fest with a heart. "Monster In The Closet", I will always remember this movie because it helped me understand the concept of B-movie in my childhood. I truly like this movie for sentimental reasons.
