Everyone Poops--"Monsturd" is a Bowel-Churning, Stinky Lark.......2006-12-04

Let's face it--if you've plopped "Monsturd" into your DVD player, you can't be expecting "Lawrence of Arabia." What you've got here is a low-budget endeavor with a clever premise and a catchy title. Anyone not intrigued by a film entitled "Monsturd" undoubtedly has no business watching this--and I'm sure they'll be grateful for that. For the rest of you sickos, the title is the most clever thing about this movie.

The plot, as if it matters, concerns an escaped killer who is gunned down in the sewer after a chemical spill has contaminated the drainage system. Covered in waste, he soon develops into a monster of excremental proportions. Intent on continuing his murderous ways, this walking pile of waste is as merciless as it is odious.

As you might expect from a zero budget film, "Monsturd" has terrible acting and cheesy effects. Ultimately, I wanted to root for this little film--but the writing just isn't as funny as you might hope. After viewing this cinematic treat, one of my friends turned to me and said "you should write a film." I don't know if he was implying that I would also produce a pile of dung--or if he thought I could easily pen something more humorous. For it would have been easy to make this a terrific B-movie--but "Monsturd" relies too heavily on its premise and not enough on pithy dialogue.

Lacking the sophistication and wit of a high-concept B-movie epic like "Killer Condom," I should probably rate this film at 1 star. But, you know what, it's walking poo! That has to be good for another star, doesn't it? If this film sounds like your ideal date movie, by all means, check it out. But be forewarned, "Monsturd" is an acquired taste--or is it a smell?

A.....crappy movie?.......2006-06-02

With so many silly ideas floating around in direct to video horror films anymore, I guess we all knew in the back of our minds that it would only be a matter of time before they got around to this concept. The idea of a poopman might not be 100% original(after all Kevin Smith had his poop demon in Dogma, and Green Jelly had their poopman superhero on their Cereal Killer album. I remember they even sold toy figures of those!), this would definitely be the first full length feature about a killer turd man. The idea is priceless and had huge comic potential, but it just comes up very short. The film is shot with a digital camera, so while it may be crystal clear picture, it just doesn't look like a movie in the traditional sense. It has a home movie/public access look about it, and I just can never get by that. Film is film and it will always be what movies are shot with if you ask me. Each and every toilet/poop pun is used, no matter how good or awful. They even manage to make up a bunch of new ones. The film certainly has it's funny moments, but they are few and far between, and considering the potential for laughs, that's a disappointment. Monsturd is obviously only gonna appeal to a certain group of movie fans. The average person will see this on the video store shelf, shake their head, maybe point it out to their buddy, and then move down to grab a copy of Monster In Law. It is difficult to recommend this one even to a Troma or Full Moon fan(well, maybe Full Moon, that stuff is rather putrid). There are definitely worse things out there of course(when watching a bad film you can always comfort yourself that at least you're not watching Napoleon Dynamite), and like I mentioned before there are a few genuine laughs, so not all is lost on Monsturd. I just wish this concept would have been brought to the screen by someone different.

Watching Monsturd is like watching a really bad wreck.......2006-05-08

With a name like Monsturd, it's gotta be bad. And it is.

But it's not bad in a Gigli way-- here... lemme give you an example: Watching Monsturd is like watching a really bad wreck; you are disturbed to no end, yet it's hard to look away. Watching Gigli is like being in a wreck. Any questions?

No, Monsturd is at least enjoyable. It's downright silly, but still pretty funny. It had a lot of potential to be TOTALLY tasteless, but they really fumbled the ball on this one. If some college or high school kids had made a movie about a poop monster you can be darn sure it'd make even the dead laugh. I really wish that this had been a Troma film, because even Troma films have a better budget than this one did... It was all filmed on digital film, and I don't think they knew how to use any filters to improve the quality. I know, I know... a movie about giant, walking, homocidal turd doesn't exactly demand the high quality treatment... but every little bit counts.

There were some golden nuggets in this mountain of poo, however. I think as the actors were encouraged to ad lib more and more, the lines became steadily more funny. The speech that the cop gives on the bullhorn made me laugh so hard I was hurting. The scene with the two cops vomiting after finding the first victim was priceless... nothing is as funny as people puking. Nothing. I really like the taunts that the Poopman leaves on the bathroom walls too. "Don't get caught with your pants down!" amongst others. The acting was just... HORRIBLE. In a movie like this it's actually a high point of the experience. It's obvious this was the first movie these guys ever made... and it's evident from many angles.

I'd have to say that the best feature of the whole thing is outtakes reel, that is more like a documentary about the making of the movie. It shows how much these guys didn't know about movie making, how they were really wussies (there's a scene where the guy in the Monsturd costume is practically crying and whining to be let out of the suit), and how immature they were (two of the guys get really hacked off with each other during the shooting of one scene). Fun stuff! And it even gave me an idea for something I want to make now.

So go in knowing full-well you are watching a movie about an 8-foot-tall poop monster and don't expect a masterpiece. Just think like a rude kid and have fun!

"Let's get that piece of s##t.".......2005-09-21

MONSTURD reminded me a lot of the killer snow man flick JACK FROST. In fact, it was pretty much the same story: just replace the snow man with the turd man, the Christmas humor with turd humor and minus Shannon Elizabeth.

If the idea of a victim being attacked by a eight foot tall turd monster that's constantly spewing turd juice all over the joint funny then you'll think this movie is the [...]. I laughed a few times but there was just a little bit too much talking going on. Trim off 10 minutes of filler and it would have been much better. With a bigger bowel movement, I mean budget I'd watch a number 2 if they made it.

My favorite part besides the s - word being used about 200 times was when the two cops found the turd man victim in the sewer and kept puking over and over and over. Classic.

This sucks. It's not even funny........2005-08-07

I was expecting stupid fun but all I got was stupid. There isn't anything funny at all. It was so bad it simply sucked. You'd think with a name like "Monsturd" there'd be some hilarious disgusting scenes, like the vomit scene in Bad Taste. All the poo jokes were so obvious though. Any idiot could come up with this bland ultra-tame/G-rated dialogue. They also have awful film music being abused in every scene. Give it a rest, geesh. There aren't any violent/gore parts either. When the lame monster attacks, they just show people screaming and water splashing with some tootsie roll stains apparently. The monster only gets shown a couple times too.

The worst part of the movie is that it takes elements of the thriller genre (which it tries to spoof as well as horror) too seriously. There were details they just spent too much time on explaining. I wanted to watch a movie, not follow something pointless. I can't believe I sat through this mess. The ending felt like they just ran out of ideas so they just ended everything in a snap. What a crappy movie. The only redeeming quality about this movie is I'll have something to throw at people in case everything else I own dissapears and I have the need for a projectile.
