Jack Brooks Monster Slayer

http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0816539/

Jack Brooks (Trevor Matthews) is a young man with a temper that sometimes makes him extremely angry. If that has something to do with him in his youth watched his parents and little sister being slayed by a monster or the fact that he is in a bad movie, I don´t know.

The movie tries to be funny I understand that, the same monster slayer type as Buffy the vampire slayer. Jack Brooks however has a lot more PG13 violent and slime.
Sure it´s fun, if you are a teen and long back to the 80s horror movies with a lot of irony and "funny" sequences, but for the rest of us. Avoid.

Robert "Freddy Kreuger" Englund playes a professor, he has late nights classes where Jack and a bunch of other "teens" are going to. Jack is always getting in trouble or getting late to classes. So the professor wants him to visit him to see what´s wrong with his pipes. Jack is not only a young student (with beard), he´s also a plumber and he has a girlfriend; Eve (Rachel Skarsten).
While home at the professor - actually after Jack has left, a black heart is found in the backyard. A black heart that has belonged to a evil spirit.

Normal people are being possesed by the black heart and the one who has possesed first, uses tentacles to capture the students and with a gigantic tentacle penis he/it (it as in the monster) deeptroaths them so they turn into some mixture of Uruk Hai (from Lord of the rings) and the demons from Lamberto Bavas Dèmoni.
Now, the interresting thing here - tentacles and the deeptroathing thing, this would be a movie for me to enjoy right?
I can´t say I hated it, but close enough.

When the monster is deeptroathing and we see it perfectly and clear, it´s ofcourse on a male. But when a woman is being dragged closer to the monster by the tentacles, what do happen if not another scene. Same thing happens where a third victim is dragged to the monster, a girl this time also, cut.
New scene please.
So, when there is a female being deeptroathed in picture, she is allready transformed to a monster.
Sure, this movie isn´t trying to be sexistic or about demonrape or anything, but still it annoys me when movies do this - cuting away when a female is in deep trouble but a man, sure - show everything.
I understand that to get this movie a PG13 rating they couldn´t show a female in that pose, but still (I am annoying myself) it annoys me really bad.

The acting is bad, ok it´s a monster horror/comedy so the acters know what kind of acting it´s supposed to be. But it´s more silly and disturbingly bad. As for example; Bruce Campbell atleast has some kind of charm and he also has does his roles with "twinkle in one's eye" so to speak. That is something that Trevor lacks or if it´s the director Jon Knautz who have failed misserable with it, I don´t know.

It also hasn´t got any surprises at all, we understand at once how this movie gonna end up and how each and every scene gonna be.
Props though for not using so much bad cgi effects.

If you wanna see some nasty tentacles, I suggest you see The Tentacles Strike Back (the whole trilogy) and yes it´s live action or Injû gakuen the whole quadrilogy (live action) or the hentai series of six episodes.

Unforthunatly there´s a sequal for Jack Brooks coming, don´t ask me why.

Well atleast I have to be possitive in some way, no wait I give 3 possitive things about this.
1. It´s only in 87 minutes
2. I saw it for free at voddler.com
3. I´ve been warned and will Not see the sequal or the upcoming movies from the director.
