Canadian director Jon Knautz burst into international view with Jack Brooks Monster Slayer and with that film’s release still fresh the entire team behind Jack Brooks is already hard at work on their sophomore feature, the much more serious-minded The Shrine. I had the chance to visit the set earlier this week and though it was just Day Two of the shoot they were already hard at it, shooting in a large scale underground temple set. Nothing like getting the blood out of the way early ...

This is why I’m not a betting man. Speculation in the aftermath of Canuck creature feature Jack Brooks Monster Slayer was that the creative forces behind that film would return quickly to the same well to create a sequel, speculation reinforced by Brooks’ sequel friendly ending and by comments made by the stars and director when the film was on the fest circuit. Well, all that speculation was wrong. The core creative team behind Jack Brooks starts production on their next feature next week and Jack Brooks 2 it aint, instead what we’re getting is what appears to be a far more serious horror picture titled The Shrine.

I’m a big fan of Bruce Campbell; particularly the “Evil Dead” series, so I’m always up for a little monster-whoopin’-fun. Releases that rival the uniqueness of said films and brew up a combo of action, adventure and comedy in a low-budget format, are hard to find. “Jack Brooks: Monster Slayer” produced by Brookstreet Pictures and released at first on screen on August 15th, then on home video via Starz’ Anchor Bay Entertainment company, stars the film's writer and producer Trevor Matthews (“Still Life”) as the title character; a man seeking counseling due to his incredible foul temper, oftentimes leaves him thrashing the daylights out of most anyone who presses his buttons.
So why is Jack so angry at everyone? Wouldn’t you be after witnessing the death of your entire family at the hands of some foul beast resembling a werewolf mixed with an abominable snowman? Years...
