So I finally got around to watching this, curiosity was just murdering the cat, for reasons that I just don't know why. Surprisingly, this movie was not as bad as the under 4 star rating this is currently pulling, I am giving it a five star review, hands down. Let's just say that the title of this movie alone will easily segregate who would want to see it, and who wouldn't, and those who want to see it, I can say that you more then likely will not be disappointed at all. Let's face it, it is possible to make a very good, but BAD movie, and that is exactly what you are in for with this...a good bad movie. Shockingly, for a budget way under five grand, I think they did a pretty damn good job putting this film together. Your 80 minutes of fun begins with a little girl who gets scared, tucked in bed, and wants daddy to tell her a bedtime story before she slumbers off, however, daddy is tired of telling stories, he challenges his daughter to tell her one, and so she does...it's a story about Jack Schmidt, who escapes from prison, and wanders off in the sewage tunnels of Butte County ( Oh, yes, pay attention, the puns are endless in this one!) Unfortunately for him, he is not alone, as he is being tracked by the police and FBI, who are hot on his tail. When an unknown substance is dumped in the sewers intentionally by a couple of workers from the plant after an incident gone horribly wrong, the chemicals bode very well with Jack, dissolving him into a skeletal mess. The toxic has worked in his favor, and he is now a fecal waste killing nightmare in the neighborhoods of ( don't make me say it again!) the county. The cops quickly catch on to who he is, what he has become, and do everything they can to stop the brown monster from creeping up a toilet of any man, woman, or child who dares to relieve themselves. This won't be easy, and why would it, that would make a quick ending for this party fest! You are obviously in for a long line of poop jokes ( you gotta be sh*tting me, don't get caught with your pants down written in feces on the wall, etc, etc, you'll get used to it, trust me.) and silly, funny deaths, but what else were you expecting, yes? All in all, I found this movie a pretty good catch, and well worth the watch. At 80 minutes, it knows not to overstay its welcome, which makes it all the better.

First things first, with a title like Monsturd you pretty much know this isn't going to be a serious movie and not the kind of film you'd probably watch with your future in-laws. What you do get however is one kick ass movie made on a budget that has everything horror fans looks for in a film. For me this is what low budget independent movie making is all about. The story is simple, an escaped serial killer Jack Schmitt dies a mysterious death in the city's sewage treatment plant, deep, dark trouble comes to town. A horrifying accident at a nearby genetic research laboratory results in the blood thirsty killer's resurrection and soon, using the county's sewer system as his underground lair, Schmitt exacts his odious revenge on the frightened townsfolk. Thats right folks, Jack Schmitt becomes a walking talking killing lump of s@#t with attitude. How's that for a storyline!.Don't think however this film is just an excuse for toilet jokes, it isn't. Yes it is a horror comedy and yes there are some funny moments but this film is much more than just 80 minutes of c@#p and s@#t jokes. What the writer/director pairing of Dan West and Rick Popko have created here is a brilliant piece of independent movie making. The acting throughout the film had a great relaxed and natural feeling and it's hard not to enjoy the film for what it is, a good fun movie. It's also thanks to the acting from the cast that some of the less plausible scenes just fit in and work, for example two scientists pouring chemical waste down a sidewalk storm drain in broad daylight in the middle of a residential area or the scene where a small girl describes to the local sheriff's and a police sketch artist the giant turd that killed her father, or my personal favorite where the two local deputies, played by our writer/director duo of Dan West and Rick Popko, find the remains of a sewer worker and spent the next 30 seconds throwing up, just brilliant. Monsturd is the first full length film from 4321 Films but having checked out their site I see there already well into production into their next film RetarDEAD and it's planned for a video release for this winter. RetarDEAD see's the evil Dr Stern, the creator of the s#$t monster return from the sewer to unleash his latest evil scheme on the students of Butte County Institute of Special Education and having just watched the trailer for this next project I'm already looking forward to picking this one up too. I'll wrap this little review up with a couple of lines from the brilliant title song from Monsturd...I'm here to warn you though it must seem absurd To be aware of a giant Monsturd When the s#$t goes down he may be in your town Don't get caught with your pants down Don't be a fool, don't drop the kids at the pool Oh yeah he's one cool stoolViolent but deadly, you'd better be aware He might just be in your underwear Best hold your breath, no don't breath that noxious vapor Make sure you've got some toilet paper Dan/hmandm.com

This is a really, really good movie about a serial killer turning into a big turd and killing people. Basically, what we got here is the Titanic of b-movies, since there actually seems to be lots of effort put into a film that probably will be viewed by .000000000000000000000000000000000001% of the world's population. I mean, there is this really awesome South Park parody, there are turds flung everywhere, there are hilarious scenes of flies eating turds. I dunno why there are so many negative reviews about this; it's juvenile humor, but it's AMAZINGLY well-done juvenile humor.There is HORRIBLE acting and HORRIBLE characters and HORRIBLE concept, but it's all amazingly entertaining. Hidden in here are many jokes and memorable scenes, such as the little girl running away from a guy who just drew a picture of a turd and another scene where a woman is yelling at a man who is screaming as he's being attacked by the turd monster. She says something to the effect of, "I told you to clean the bathroom, not USE IT!!!!" Hahahaha... amazing. Get this film.

Saying this film was so bad it was good would be wrong. It's terrible. But in my defense, I'm a huge fan of bad horror and potty humor. Just can't resist. It was only natural that I should pick up this little turd of a flick at my video store purely for the title and it's cover.As the film begins a cute little blonde girl is asking her father to tell her a bedtime story. Instead, he asks her to tell him one. Her tale begins in the setting of a little place called Butte County (get it?) where a science experiment goes very wrong. Born is the giant Turd Monster (long story short) that craps all over everyone in its path. The monster itself resembles little piles of fake rubber doggy-doo all glued together! The movie isn't hilarious, but I laughed in spite of myself. It's in the vein of "Redneck Zombies", but not nearly as funny. Monsturd isn't a Troma flick, but it should be!This is a gross-out flick, pure and simple. Don't expect too much and you won't be disappointed.
