Muckman

Starring : A.J. Khan This is a fun movie that follows a former BIG reality star and shows his comeback effort to return to cable television stardom with some credibility this time.

Some wonderful casting especially A. J. Khan ( A Scream Queen Icon) and Alison Whitney,And special mention to Danielle Donahue,Who may steal every scene she is in.

The Monster looks real good,Well The real MUCKMAN looks good,There may be a fake costume in the plot that does'nt look so threatening, LOL.

The special effects ( Stop motion articulation and some real props ) that BRETT PIPER is known for crop up in this film and are most welcome,Making the ending a thang of beauty for horror film fans.

Trying to save his reputation, a man sends his team of monster hunters to the spot where his career was ruined in order to search for an elusive monster, but when they come to realize that something might be out there beyond the locals faking it they try to get out of the woods alive.

This one proved to be a solid B-movie effort. One of the biggest aspects going for this one is the fun and overly enjoyable low-budget charm running throughout this one. There's a lot to like with how this goes through the early setup of the show to the manner of arriving at the location as they go through various stages to finally arrive at the campsite. Coupled with the continuous action scenes showing the team heading out to catch sight of the creature and the charmingly obvious low-budget throwback feel here, these provide this with a solid charm to this one. That charming low-budget feel in the action scenes works due to the fact that both sides here set up the same scenario. Taking on the idea of the two sides working to fake the creatures' existence by tackling all the various behind-the-scenes antics of everybody in on the joke not only with her having been secretly filming the group conducting their plans or going off to investigate the various clues they've left behind which really gets highlighted in the final half of the film. As the ploy of wondering whether the creature is real or fake, the various confrontations here not only with the race to keep them from finding the truth but also the revelation about the monster which provides some of the most cheesily enjoyable elements here. These here are what holds this one up over its flaws. There are some problems here, mainly stemming from the type of film this one truly wants to be. By going all-out of the plotline about the sides going through their attempts at faking the creatures' existence all the way until the end, there's a distinct and decidedly lighthearted tone present that never once puts any of the characters in danger. There's so little here that it played as threatening despite supposedly being about a creature hunting them down through the woods, and the setup requires so low a body-count there's no need for blood and gore as a result. As well, that forces this one into some incredibly hard to believe rational being uttered by the characters which make for a hard time to believe what's going on here. Alongside the shoehorned monster at the end which doesn't need to be there, there here are the films' flaws.

Rated R: Graphic Language and Mild Violence.

A TV documentary crew searches the woods for a fabled creature. Starts off poppy.

Ambitious smart low budget movie.

But its charm sort of fades as we get past the first half.

Sort of well made and well acted.

It just doesn't meet expectations based on a really solid open.

So short on delivery.

Plus it's a take off on the search for Bigfoot who we all know is real.

Didn't Harry and the Hendersons -- you know that real documentary -- prove it?

Let me start by saying the bikini fight scene puts this movie a notch above others in the genre. Ken Vansant continues to show off his acting skills while sporting hair that the gods would envy. The plot was solid with some twists that will leave you gasping. Filmed at the beautiful pine creek gorge or Grand Canyon of Pennsylvania, the scenery adds to the great cinematography. These films need to get more recognition and start making there way into mainstream theaters. Ken Vansant could be the next household acting name amongst the greats like Daniel Day Lewis and Rob Schneider if these movies got the recognition they deserve!

I loved this movie. It's sort of a marriage of Octoman and Swamp Thing. I expected the story to go in one direction that was never really explored too deeply, but that's besides the point.

The Muckman looked great and some of the characters were pretty solid, while others were 2 dimensional throw aways, but doesn't that just add to the Drive-in movie sci-fi charm? There was some fantastic miniature work in the movie. A real pleasure to see in today's "do it with computers" world.

The movie isn't scary, but it is fun. In a campy, goofy, watch it with friends and laugh about it later way.
