Monster Shack Movie Reviews

Howdy folks, Well, my webhotel has moved the site over to a new set of servers and redid all the databases, php settings, etc. I think I’ve fixed everything that needs to be fixed, but if anything seems “broken” please let me know and I’ll look into it. Thanks!

This month’s review features yet another insane Italian space film with lots of aliens, gold lamé, and wigs aplenty! Yes…the Monster Shack is proud to present: The War of the Robots (1978) It features aliens, robots, gold face paint, tons of wigs, bad special effects (that should be a given by now if it’s on [...]

Just found out that my web host is upgrading all of their servers, so all the websites that they host may experience possible downtime. So never fear, if the Shack disappears for a day, it’s all under control and we’ll be back as soon as everything is sorted out at the web hotel. Cheers!

OK, I have to admit setting aside an hour every Saturday morning back when I was a wee Minneapolis lad in order to see the latest episode of “G.L.O.W.” aka: Gorgeous Ladies of Wrestling. Man, that was some fun stuff. So, anyway, I’m in a cheesy 80′s mood and I’m scrounging around YouTube for some [...]

Just wanted to post a “new” old review to give you something to chew on in July. Since I’ve been on vacation for awhile and the weather is too nice to sit inside and write about dumb movies, I’ve dug up an old review that seemed to have fallen through the cracks when I moved [...]

Mixing rednecks, caves, bad monsters, and bad scripts NEVER a good thing. Case in point: It’s Alive! (1969) This movie is not for the weak of heart, head, or stomach. By the way, sorry to start your summer out like this, but you know you love it…

I guess the site is getting more and more “popular” since I get about 50 spam posts each day. (Thanks to Askimet Plug-In, it’s all filtered out instead of offending your sensitive eyes…) Anyway, I thought I’d take a moment to share some of the wonderful praise the Monster Shack receives each and every day: [...]

So, yes, another security hole has been found in Facebook. Go here ->>> Your Open Book enter any words you want and you’ll get a list of all matching Facebook user statuses with that word(s) in it…and you’re not even logged in or friends with them. Cool, huh? Anyway, as you can tell from the [...]

Thanks again to Sean Ledden for clearing his busy schedule and giving us a great review for the month of May. Monster Shack is proud to present…a big robot that hates humans and wants to take over the world. Or something. Anyway, it tries to wipe out L.A. so it can’t be all that bad… [...]

Aiiiiyeee! It’s a walking tree! Run for your lives! Beware of the Tabanga! A demonic zombie tree that shuffles, grimaces, shuffles some more…oh well. I’m trying my best to make this exciting. From Hell it Came (1957)

Thanks to Sean for coming up with a fun interview of 3 MST3K legends: Trace Beaulieu, Joel Hodgson, and “J. Elvis” Weinstein. There out there promo’ing their live show Cinematic Titanic, so if you’re lucky enough to see it I’d love to hear about it. Here’s the interview…sorry if you have to sit through an [...]

If you like big snakes eating stupid people, be sure to check this movie out. Otherwise stay far away. Boa vs Python (2004)

A funny independent short sent my way by Joe Douglass. It just goes to show that with a little ingenuity you can get by with a low special effects budget Take Out (I tried to embed this but it was giving tons of Adobe scripting errors…ack. Just follow the link.)

This one took a little longer to write because it’s just so horrible, but heck, it was still pretty fun. Why, oh why do I put myself through this? Enjoy! Supermen vs the Amazons (1975) Monster Shack WARNING: This movie is really bad…you might want to check out the trailer before going any further:

A really cool independent documentary about some Canadian homeless guys that race their shopping carts down these gigantic hills. These guys are totally nuts but you have to admire their spirit… If this embedded dealee-thingee doesn’t work for you, you can also check it out HERE

Here’s the story: So, there I was, checking to see if any new posts were on the site, and man, the login page looked pretty weird. Strange. Then the admin page for the site was also pretty screwed up: weird layout, missing pictures, missing buttons, etc. What could it be? Did I screw something up? [...]

Well, after nearly 6 years of smooth running the Shack has been hacked. No big deal, just have to clean up some stupid stuff. WARNING: If you use FileZilla as an FTP client it saves FTP passwords in clear text!!!! You will be hacked! I think this is what has happened: http://unsharptech.com/2008/05/20/filezilla-ftp-passwords-stored-in-plaintext/ You’ve been warned

Boy, I really had to force my way through this piece of crap; but because I luv you guys, I manned up, gritted my teeth, and sat through one of the longest 93 minutes of my life. They Saved Hitler’s Brain I don’t know if it’s really possible to enjoy this movie (I sure as [...]

So 2010 has started with a cold snap here in the land of Monster Shack. Temps of -20 c. have kept my fingers frozen, and review typing is slow, but progress is steady. To top things off, 3 of 4 family members have the flu…Huzzah! Such fun. Hoping to have something new posted in a [...]

First, I want to wish everybody a great start to the new year! (Can it really be 2010 already? Yikes!) Anyways, I’d like to help some guys out by pointing you to their film called She-Rex Here’s the trailer: If it looks interesting to you, then why not dig into your wallet and support some [...]
