Product Description Love in the Time of Monsters is a suspenseful, campy, hilarious horror film that weaves an outrageous tale of love and Zombie Bigfoots through the dark woods of Northern California. Two sisters, Carla and Marla, travel to a cheesy tourist trap for a weekend getaway only to arrive in time to battle toxic monsters dressed in Bigfoot costumes! Determined to save their loved ones they must become heroes…but what happens when the real Bigfoot arrives? Review Jackson has crafted an incredibly funny, rich, and ultimately entertaining movie with enough heart to keep you hooked till the end. This is a movie you can show at parties, watch with friends, or watch by yourself all with equally enjoyable results. I am not a huge fan of most comedy/horror bastard children, with scant exceptions like John Dies at the End really tickling my fancy. Even so, the sheer amount of charm and fun that is crammed into this movie makes it almost impossible to hate. Even if you don t love this movie, I don t see anyone but killjoys and psychopaths having a bad time watching it. --Dread CentralWhat surprised me most about LOVE IN THE TIME OF MONSTERS is how funny it actually is. I found myself laughing quite a bit in this film, which is often a feat more difficult than any effects shot or budgetary restraint. So much of the writing of this film is crisp and on the money in terms of entertaininment and wittiness and while some of the characters might be guilty of having similar voices behind the humor, the delivery from the cast is dead spot on. Mixed with some pretty gruesome effects and some gross monsters in goofy Bigfoot costumes, and you have a mix of horror and comedy that is harder than most think to pull off. Plus there are fun little surprises in LOVE IN THE TIME OF MONSTERS that really end up enriching the film quite a bit. Among the infected wearing Bigfoot costumes is Kane Hodder, who plays the leader of this pack of monster men. Hodder is best known for playing Jason Voorhees, but I am constantly amazed at how strong an actor Hodder is. In many low budgeters, genre vets like Hodder and Doug Jones (who is also a lot of fun here as a doctor with a low tolerance for alcohol) have bit parts, mostly shot in a single day, then touted on the DVD box or poster as the stars of the flick. I was expecting that here, but actually both Hodder and Jones roles are substantial chunks of the film, and both actors prove they are as effective without makeup as they are inside of it. And while Ive seen Jones act in comedies before, Hodder really surprised me at how funny his comic timing really is. --Aint It Cool News P.when('A').execute(function(A) { A.on('a:expander:toggle_description:toggle:collapse', function(data) { window.scroll(0, data.expander.$expander[0].offsetTop-100); }); }); About the Actor Kane Hodder (Friday the 13th, Hatchet), Doug Jones (Hellboy, Pans Labyrinth), Michael McShane (Office Space, Robin Hood), Shawn Wetherly (Miss Universe, Baywatch) See more
