NOW for my favorite part. I very much liked the part were the moose shows up to the park to the park to traumatize and wound the poor innocent citizens of gang green national park, Alaska. I lived in anchorage were i was as well traumatized by rapid moose.my only complaint was the fact that i had post traumatic stress disorder while watching this movie. But beside the point of my ptsd this movie is GREAT to watch with your family and kiddos. By far my favorite demonic moose moovie!!!
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.
I thought someone had beat Kevin Smith to making "Moose Jaws" so I jumped on this only to find out that it is more of a "Moose-a-taur" type movie.
Still, a small town under siege by an evil monster-man is a pretty good basis for a low-budget horror movie.
While you would think that the new deputy would be a great hero of the moment to rise to the occasion, he is an awkward addition to a far superior protagonist of someone who is portrayed as dismissable.
Chantel Grover pretty much carries the movie, and I can't tell if it because of some very clever writing or if she's just that much of a better actor than everyone else.
