The Monster Squad (1987)

Yeah, this movie is good…if you like your movies ridiculous and offensive.

From scenes with Dracula shouting “Give me the amulet, you BITCH!” in the face of a terrified five-year-old girl, to Frankenstein taking photos of a stereotypical 1980s teenage girl in pink bra and thong while muttering “bogus,” it is entirely clear that no one was holding anything back while making this film.

Less amusing: a bunch of twelve year olds throwing around “fag” and “homo” like there’s no tomorrow, with gratuitous violence, lackluster characters, and a plot that would make even the biggest B-movie fan fall asleep.

I watched The Monster Squad because a number of people had said that it was “critically underrated” and “deserved watching.” Clearly I do not share that opinion. This movie should have stayed in 1987.

Bogus, indeed.
