Interesting start for a young filmmaker

While he is no Ed Wood, Jose Prendes may be a director to reckon with in the future. "The Monster Man" is a live action comic book of continious action and kung fu. While the film is a bit overlong, there is a strong attempt to entertain. There are some comic situations that are really funny and thought out.

Given the film's backyard budget, this film holds up better than so many mainstream motion picturs with superior budgets. If Prendis maintains his ensemble of actors (Quigley, Savini) and loyal crew, he may be able to create a bigger budgetted career. The potential is there.

Is this a home video?

This movie looked so much like a home video I wanted to cry. How it's getting good reviews I don't know. It looked terrible, the acting was terrible, the effects were terrible...It was just awful. Reasons why? Well, let's start with the fact it had to have been shot on digital with no budget. Then it's filled with amateurs and some of the worst b movie actors around. It's just THAT bad.

Absolutely terrible

Worse even than Corpses are forever. How people like Tom Savini and the great Miss Quigley were pulled into this specimen I will only wonder. I can think of no situation or circumstance that I would suggest this to anyone.

Not Funny. No special effects. I have seen better dialog in the quiet times of Castaway. I wasn't sure what I was supposed to find the most humor in: The aliens costumes - jogging suits and rain coats. film quality - grainy at the very best, eye straining most of the time. I am sure that it is meant to be funny but they only thing you find humorous is that Mr Prendes has made more than one attempt at film-making. Run away.

Very Funny Sci-FI,with a dream cast !

Mister Prendes,Take a bow.Your first effort smacks of success.Liked the homage to Omega Man,Jackie Chan.Martial arts were right on and very funny dialogue.Lets review the cast: Denice Duff(congrats on Song Of The Vampire,btw),Conrad Brooks(Pally,the cue cards arent working),Tom Savini(ooooh,Dude you sooo rock!) and Linnea Quigley(a rare passable performance).

Bad "B" schlock, but somewhat fun...

This is an absolutely bad movie...and I think it was meant to be. It obviously had a shoestring budget and very limited resources, but still manages to be somewhat fun. The only real complaints I have is that I couldn't make out and understand most of the dialogue in the movie, and I saw it on DVD. The other complaint is that the picture is as bad as a very used VHS tape. I guess it was either originally shot on video tape or digital camera. It's viewable, but only barely at times.

Denice Duff, Linnea Quigley, and Tom Savini are good reasons to catch this film. Duff is a major character in the movie, while Quigley and Savini have bit parts. Conrad Brooks of "Plan 9 From Outer Space" fame rounds out the minimal cast of The Monster Man.

Crazy credits
At the end of the movie, the director thanks the inventor of marshmallows, because he ate marshmallows on the set and they kept him going.
