The Rating System

All opinions are my own. We are all different. What I may think is great, you may this terrible. Don't let my opinios stop you from exploring the vast world of horror in all media.

~Mind Blowing: Search for this movie immediately. It can only be described as pure greatness and possible an instant classic.

~So Good: Highly recommended because for one reason or another it stands out above the usual fair. Put the movie on your radar as it wont disappoint.

~In the Middle: The movie is a nothing special, average affair. It may entertain in the short term but it will be easily forgettable in the long haul.

~Warning: This movie is a cliched driven slop of familiar territory. Only watch if you're really of fan of this type of material.

~Steaming Pile: The movie is absolute garbage, a complete bore, and not worth the time or effort.

Monster Man, Season 1 (2012)

Starring: Cleve Hall, Constance Hall,

Synopsis:
An inside look at a Hollywood special effects studios who specializes in making props and creatures.

My Take:
I do love old school special effects (not digital) and seeing how these props and creatures are made is really cool. The behind the scenes look is why I enjoy watching.
But the show feels like the producers are adding extra drama to make it interesting. The family is always bitching with each other. Cleve and Roy, the owner, are always at ends because of this incredibly tight dead lines. Each week multiple people come on in and want things made for a shoot that is only days away. I guess their producers fail at pre-production.

Rating: In the middle
