User Reviews

Monster! is a gem that was swept under the rug

Playful, funny, lovingly satiric, action filled story about a retired, aging B movie star, Emmet Walsh and his straight laced Grandson, Travis. Emmet lives in the small town of "New Purgatory." He is a local legend, having filmed all of the "Monster" movies there, then settling down as a resident. He is seen as slightly mad because he believes the monster from his series of movies is real, and coming to attack the town. Thing is - he's right. It's a rite of passage as he hands over the "town hero" role to his Grandson and they save the town once more.
