This is a vanity project disguised as a mockumentary

TL;DR: 3/4 self promotion of director Adam Green and his other works. 1/4 lazy adaptation of Clive Barker's "Nightbreed"

This was a mess. The only saving grace of this movie is the amazing artwork/ creature design of the incredibly talented Alex Pardee. Oh and Ray Wise was pretty great. Unfortunately, that wasn't enough to make the film enjoyable.

There is literally a montage of Green signing autographs... The beginning of the film is supposed to be meaningful. He gets lots of horror celebs to give a short testimonial about their love of the horror genre. But it is really just a montage of Green showing off his connections. This movie screams "Oh look at me! Aren't I cool? I have tons of fans and know lots of famous people."

Half the movie is just Adam and friends wearing t-shirts from his movies surrounded by posters of his movies with a computer screensaver of his movies... Absolutely shameless. There are so many inconsistencies in tone because Green can't stick to the narrative and just has to keep shamelessly showing off and self-promoting.

If he wanted to make an effective mockumentary, he should've cast other actors and left himself out of the spotlight. But he just couldn't help himself. This is a vanity project wearing the guise of a horror film.

Adam Green has always seemed like a hack to me. This film further solidifies that feeling. He comes across as a self-important egomaniac. In interviews he always defends the plot holes and lazy filmmaking decisions of his movies with circular reasoning and 4th wall tapping. Dude, just because you make a self-deprecating joke about portions of your movie or personality, does NOT give you an excuse to keep using lazy scripts and have a sloppy attention to detail.

What a waste of Ray Wise and Alex Pardee...

Monsters aren't real. Or are they?

Filmmakers Adam Green and Will Barratt are working on a documentary about horror genre-based art. The pair are contacted by cranky and obsessive retired detective William Dekker (an excellent and convincing performance by veteran character thesp Ray Wise), who claims that actual monsters do indeed exist amongst us.

Writer/director Green relates the clever and engrossing story at a constant pace, makes neat use of the faux documentary premise, generates some real tension in the harrowing last third, and, best of all, pokes witty and inspired fun at both himself and the inherently stressful and contrived nature of moviemaking in general and attempting to put together a documentary on a subject that is basically looked down upon as bogus and absurd in particular. This film further benefits from a neat assortment of familiar genre faces popping up in cool cameos as themselves. The monsters look super gnarly, too. And the ending manages to be creepy without coming across as hokey or overdone. A nifty little fright flick.

MONSTERS ARE MISUNDERSTOOD

Adam Green who has given us "Hatchet" which I praised and "Frozen" which was a bore, brings us a semi-documentary style film as his late entry into the hand held genre craze. Yes, even during the disco era, most respected rockers broke down and did a disco song.

In this feature, Adam Green played himself. He is contacted by retired detective William Dekker (Ray Wise) about a group of "monsters" or deformed humans who live underground in what he calls "The Marrow." They travel around with a camera getting a lot of pictures of nothing and then like all hand held genre films, things pick up in the last few minutes.

The monster make-up was excellent, however Adam Green in front of the camera was not. In fact most of the horror film crowd who played themselves in front of the camera were a yawn including Kane Hodder without a hockey mask.

Worth a Redbox rental
