WE GOT A MONKEY'S PAW is a funny, well-written comedy horror film that moves at a breathless, dizzying pace. The acting is wonderful, especially by Zach Ogle, who helps sell the situation and the comedy. Definitely worth checking out!

A young woman hooked on crack becomes a prostitute to pay for her drugs, but when she's hired by a group of rednecks as a birthday present, she is gang-raped and toss out. Later, taken in by another young woman, the junkie decides to go back to the scene of the crime and get revenge.

First, the film is all over the place and never tells a real story. It's mostly a showcase for Christopher Raff, who plays the mentally-challenged, nasal birthday boy, who spouts the most hysterical, insane sexual things. Kudos must also go to George Troester as Cornfed, whose face continually shifts from expression to expression in a way Jim Carrey can only dream of.

Is it crude? Yes. Is it offensive? Yes. Does it look like it was shot on weekends for a dollar and a quarter? Absolutely. But the humor of the performances elevate this from some backyard project to something that's definitely not for the easily-offended or faint of heart, but for those people who like to get together at the silliest, dopiest things and just have fun.

A group of people go into the woods looking for the legendary chupacabra and find terror. A very entertaining found footage film where the camerawork is actually decent and doesn't instill headaches, the acting is natural and there are actually developments in the story. Plus the amazing Sarah Nicklin never fails to impress!
