In 2008 Cloverfield took the concept to new “heights” (sarcastic laughter) with an estimated budget of $30 million, a very cool monster design, and a cast of […]
From the Better Late Than Never Department:
The Monster Shack takes great pride in trashing the (gag) “Syfy” channel, but I was recently shocked, yes shocked!, to find it presenting something genuinely good. Thrilling even! And that thing is…..drum-roll….. The Mercury Men. It is, to quote it’s very cool retro poster, “The return […]

Summary: Global warming leads to exploding, acid-spitting birds.
How is it possible? Was this movie meant to be a cruel joke? What twisted mind can have even conceived of a production as horrid as Birdemic? Sure, we could place […]

Peter Jackson’s latest production District 9 is an wonderfully ironic look at man’s inhumanity to man, and man’s inhumanity to inhumanity.
Basically: What if alien refugees sort of, well, parked their spaceship at […]
ATTACK OF THE SCI-FI SOAP OPERA SERIALPART THREE
By Sean Ledden
War of the Worlds – or – quality time with the kids
And now, regrettably, we come back full-circle to Monsieur Spielberg. Remember how I complained in Close Encounters of the Third Kind of our long immersion into Neary household […]
ATTACK OF THE SCI-FI SOAP OPERA SERIAL
PART TWO
by Sean Ledden
Mission to MUSH (OOPS, I mean MARS)
Mission to Mars came out in 2000, and unlike Contact, it avoids the God question entirely. This should be refreshing, but unfortunately it is so besotted with sex and romance it […]

A guest review by stalwart contributor Sean Ledden
Most of the movies ridiculed, I mean critiqued, at the Monster Shack are prehistoric artifacts from a murky past. Born from the swampy fringes of a by-gone Hollywood, they lumbered across the […]

Review by Sean Ledden
