Having my second head cold in three months, Deb & I decided to watch THE MONSTER MAKER tonight. It had some good acting in it, but the plot was uninspiring and the bad guy was decidedly unbalanced, rather than interestingly avaricious. The guy in the monkey suit didn’t get a credit, despite a courageous effort, and the bad guy’s haircut was subtly awful, which we didn’t realize until halfway into the movie, and then couldn’t take our eyes off it.
Oh, and the special effects were actually subtle and well done. I did notice that. They just needed a better script. Rotten Tomatoes’ Audience score is a … 3. Which may be unfair – I’ve seen far worse in the horror series we’re grinding through. But it wasn’t good.
