The Monster Squad
(1987)
Directed by Fred
Dekker this horror comedy stars a number of child actors from the
80s, none of whom really went on to make it. The classic line up of
Universal monsters face off against a group of kids from a small town
in America.
As a stand alone piece
this film is no real great shakes and fits right in with the tone of
a number of 80s films but is really fun due to the use of and homages
to classic monster films. These days genre literate films are all
over the place but as one of the earlier efforts this film is fun to
watch. Despite probably being made on a smaller budget the effects of
this film are not too bad and hold up enough not to get in the way of
the fun.
3/5
