Jack Brooks: Monster Slayer is a horror comedy film directed by Jon Knautz and written by Knautz and John Ainslie. The movie stars Trevor Matthews as Jack Brooks, a plumber with anger management issues who witnessed the murder of his family as a child. The film also features Robert Englund, of Nightmare on Elm Street fame, as Professor Crowley, Jack's geology teacher.
The movie begins with Jack attending night classes to improve his job prospects and manage his anger issues. He seeks therapy, but it doesn't help much. One day, Jack's professor uncovers an ancient cursed amulet while on a field trip, and the curse slowly transforms him into a monster. The more Crowley becomes a monster, the more Jack realizes that he may be the only one who can stop him.
The film is a tongue-in-cheek tribute to classic horror movies and features plenty of comedic moments. The monsters are well-designed and include a giant centipede and a tentacled blob that engulfs its victims. The special effects are impressive, especially considering the movie's modest budget.
Overall, Jack Brooks: Monster Slayer is a fun horror movie that doesn't take itself too seriously. It's a great watch for fans of both horror and comedy who enjoy a good monster movie.
