Moose

Loose Goose -Moose on the Loose. If you like weird comedy, this one's for you.

As of now, my review on IMDB is only the second for this movie. And, after seeing "Moose: The Movie" I wonder how anyone could rate this movie a 2 or say it isn't particularly funny. It's hilarious...and rarely have I ever laughed out loud this many times as I watched a film. In many ways, it's good, cheesy fun...much like "Attack of the Killer Tomatoes"...but quite a bit funnier.

The story begins with Zach arriving in the lovely town of Gangreen Gulch, Alaska. He's a new ranger assigned to the area and he's shocked to see what a bizarre hamlet this is....with puppet cooks and waiters in the local restaurant, a nearby mime academy as well as, of course, a rampaging demonic 'moosetaur'....an evil beast who is half man, half moose!!! Can Zach, or anyone else in this town, possibly stop the moosetaur before he kills again. Well, no...as he kills again and again and again....but it's not all bad, as some of the victims were just hippies.

The jokes in the film come one after another after another after another. A few fall flat, but surprisingly most don't. The film has a wonderful sense of humor and I really appreciated how the movie never once took itself seriously. I also loved all the tiny little touches you might not notice...which would provide ample reason to re-watch the movie. Very intelligently made despite having an entire cast of unknowns. It shouldn't be good considering it's minuscule budget (about $60,000 apparently)...but somehow it works and works very well.

My wife and I have been watching Halloween movies all month (October 2020), we've just about watched everything on Netflix and Amazon when we finally decided to watch Moose: The Movie, we inadvertently saved the best for last. This movie is consistently creative, funny, and twisted. It was made on a very small budget, but doesn't feel low budget. If you're looking for a quirky, fun, and entertaining movie, you'll be hard pressed to find anything better, and no, I'm not from Alaska, and I don't have a stake in this movie. Give it a watch, you'll be hooked in the first 10 minutes, and the monster is actually pretty cool, in a good, cheesy way.

The people who leave a really low rating on this movie are trying to compare it to marvel, and are like the hippies in the beginning of the movie. But for a movie made with by volunteers and donations, this is amazing. Truly captures Alaskan spirit. Disney is seething they don't have the rights to this.

Brilliant and enlightening. I laughed, I cried, I bought antlers to protect me just in case. Will watch again and spread the word about this amazing movie.
