See more Oct 13, 2020 this movie is so bad that it is funny and silly See more Mar 30, 2019 Monster in the Closet features some pretty solid actors. This film takes you on a mystery to find out what I s really going on behind some California murders. Dont forget to bring your preferred puffed rice chocolate bar on the journey. I enjoyed the monster suit and its mini-me pop-out. Just not sure why a monster that comes out of closets has such a hard time opening doors. See more Jan 23, 2019 I think anyone who calls themselves a purveyor of b-cinema has seen their fair share of Troma films. If you haven't seen a Lloyd Kaufman produced film, or at least seen his face show up in a ton of bad movies that his company has bought then it's time to turn your bad movie watching up a notch. Monster in The Closet comes from a time where the company was busy making their own b-flicks instead of buying them, and like most of the movies Troma made, they can be pretty hit or miss. Although, mostly entertaining. Monster in the Closet is no exception, taking the cliches of 50's monster movies and pooping a few jokes their way. An intrepid Clark Kent style reporter, a love interest, her son, and older scientist try to stop the onslaught of a monster who travels through closets to kill Americans. It's goofy and fun, but also not amazing. The monster suit is the best part of the film, and seeing it wander about like a mini rancor with xenomorph inner face punchy thingy is a lot of fun. Poking fun at the military from the old monster flicks also worked really well for me, as they were always so dumb and ineffective against giant lobsters, and praying mantises...Manti? Where the movie doesn't work is the long shots of wandering about, the constant bombardment of noise mixed with the damn tune they keep hitting on the xylophone, and some really annoying characters. I know this as all in the spirit of those older films, but they were b-movies for a reason. These things ware not good in those movies, nor are the good in this one. Monster in the Closet is still fun, and there is a lot of good to be seen with the monster itself, and the jokes that land. Also, Paul Walker and Fergie are kids in this movie, so there is that if you need casting trivia. Although not my favorite, I would still recommend this film. its silly enough to have fun with...Also, 1986 PG-rated movies had some nudity...

Cependant, si on le prend au premier degre, le film est une bonne comedie d'horreur pas forcement tres drole, mais bien menee, grace a un heros charismatique joue par DONALD GRANT et des seconds roles efficaces, dont PAUL WALKER a 10 ans. La mise en scene est bonne mais ne peut transcender le tout. Pas mal. See more Read all reviews
