4/5

Cheap, cheerful and tonally on point, this feels like the crazy little British monster movie that could.

The awe-inspiring special effects for its monsters, the solid acting, and the kinetic directing work together to craft this loving tribute to the horror films of the 1980s into a most enjoyable experience.

Lots of horror effects can be used to spice up a scary movie, but they cannot sustain it.

Book of Monsters certainly delivers on the monsters and gore with a classic 80's aesthetic, while also giving audiences a fun and compelling story.

While it's not isn't high class horror, it's well worth checking out for fans of horror films that appreciate good laughs along with the gore.

The book of monsters only redeeming quality is having a book that looks genuinely haunted and cool, the rest of the movie however fails in comparison with terrible looking monsters, bad acting and poorly written scripts. If you want a teenagers getting murdered at a party usually the first step is to get actors that actually look like teenagers, the next step is having monsters and Gorey moments actually look real rather then a pantemime level of costume.

"Book Of Monsters" is a fun, high energy, bloody good time. It is a micro-budget horror comedy that is reminiscent of classic 80's movies, such as "Evil Dead" and "Night Of The Demons". The story is a patchwork quilt of typical horror tropes, setups, and characters, but because Sparke knows the film he is trying to make, the familiarity is more a tribute to the genre than a copycat. It isn't perfect, there are times the humor falls flat, or the scene stumbles a bit, but the pace and the energy over-takes any real flaws. Special effects are blood-soaked, gory practical elements that soak up the spotlight in "Book Of Monsters". It's like an 80-something minute long episode of 'Todd And The Book Of Pure Evil' on steroids. Sparke goes for broke creating visceral scenes of carnage, so much so that even the moments that fail are fun and enjoyable to watch. The creature designs, practical effects, and so many characters battling for "Scream Queen" gold are so captivating on screen. Overall "Book Of Monsters" is a great indie horror comedy that gets so much right and does so much on such a small budget. There are some downers, the exposition material drags a bit- but how could they not after so much high energy scenes of monsters and guts and screams! For the most part "Book Of Monsters" is a must for indie horror fans, and is a prime example of why we love indie horror!
