Monster Man: Funny little horror comedy

On youtube, it's quite rare to find entire movies in French, but I managed to find one that I didn't know, but whose the title interested me: Monster Man.


To summarize the film, the story is set somewhere in the United States, in a remote location. Adam and Harley, two friends are on the road to attend the wedding of one of their high school friends, and on the way, they'll meet Sarah, a young girl who was hitch-hiking. But soon the trip turns into infernal pursuit race, because the trio is chased by a Monster Truck, driven by a man disfigured with scars everywhere and a glass eye, which looks more like a monster than a human. But the reason of the pursuit is far more sinister yet, but I'm not going to spoiler everything.

Monster Man seems to be a low budget film, but still, not bad at all. I would not say it's a horror film, but rather a gory comedy. Adam is a very shy guy and missing a lot of confidence, and also is a maniac and hates what is dirty. While Harley, it's the opposite, he's a completely confident guy, always relaxed and wants to make valves, and he likes to talk about girls. The character of Harley made me laugh a lot because virtually all of the best funny scenes are with him, for example, when he dreams he embraces a girl while in fact he embraces the carcass of a dead animal tabled in the room by the killer. Disgusting but funny. It's a film to not to be taken seriously but with humor. Although it's funny at times, the film can also be quite gory, with some scenes that I don't recommend for sensitive people or people who have the stomach too fragile. But again, the gory scenes are usually with a touch of humor. For example, the scene or Adam thinks eat a chile con carne, but realizes that he ate a piece of a dead person served with the meal. Disgusting, but funny. 



Some of the most intense scenes of the film, I would say that it is the chase scenes with the Monster Truck. Adam has a small car that can do nothing against the monstrous vehicle of the killer. Moreover towards the end of the film, Adam's car was crushed by the wheels of the Monster Truck while Harley was still inside, however, he survived because he was under a corpse which was crushed instead him. It's so silly and improbable that it becomes funny.


The monster of the film (the Monster Man) his real name is Bob, but he is known by locals as "the Demon". Harley calls him "rotten face." XD
Bob seems to be known and feared in the region, and he even mutilated and killed several people over the years because during the trip, Adam and Harley noticed many people with amputated legs or arms, that have been victims of the Monster Man. In the film, we also learn how Bob became a disfigured monster and about the intentions that motivate him to maim and kill people, but I will not say more.

To finish, Monster Man is not the film of the year, but it is entertaining, funny and gore. Ideal for the horror comedy lovers.
