Entertainment Reviews:
Rating: 3.5/5 --
Jack Brooks: Monster Slayer harks back to the drive-in classics of yesteryear with unapologetic nostalgia and undisguised affection.
New York Times
a potentially duff idea (disgruntled plumber finds outlet for his anger issues by kicking monster butt) is elevated by the funniest character acting of the entire FrightFest 2008.
Little White Lies
Rating: 1/4 --
Despite a game performance by Trevor Matthews in the lead, not much in this alleged comic/horror flick really succeeds as either funny or scary.

Rating: 6/10 --
The film is a wild success. That success is attributed to three factors: Trevor Matthews (as Brooks), Englund and the monster design by David Scott.

IGN Movies
Indie effort evidences more energy than wit, and spends too much time on set-up before a slam-bang pay-off.
Variety
It's one of those films that's likeable more for its enthusiasm and sense of fun than on any critical merit.

Matthews is supposed to be the star here, but it's Englund's hilarious, over-the-top performance that keeps Jack Brooks: Monster Slayer... from becoming another forgettable exercise in horror.

Product Description:
Jack Brooks's nagging girlfriend thought that night classes might improve her plumber boyfriend's career options. But that was before his professor (horror legend Robert Englund) turned into a horrific monster and freed a legion of his beastly brethren; now it looks like Jack's job will be taking out the monsters one at a time. Newcomer Trevor Matthews stars as the tool-slinging hero of this horror comedy.
