Jack Brook was a regular guy who’s having trouble with anger management. After knowing his childhood stories, we can’t really blame the guy, the kid basically witnessed his whole family been brutally slaughtered by… a Monster, during a camping trip! Some story even his councilor, Mr Silverstein could not help him. Nobody believed him at all!
Jack grown up and working as a plumber. He took night class for Science, insisted by his whiny girlfriend, Eve. He came to the class late one night, and wow, guess who’s playing the science teacher, Professor Crowley ? None other than Robert Englund, the great.
Crowley performed a little experiment of how the Sodium reacts with H2O, which fascinates the students of the students. In case you didn’t know, the mixture creates quite a violent chemical reaction.
After the class, Eve snapped at him for not picking her up earlier for the class, then an annoying classmate, John offered to take Eve home when Crowley suddenly called for Jack. Some plumbing job was needed at Crowley’ new place, an old house at Watson Road. Jack went, but strange music started to play at the background…
At the house, Crowley greeted Jack at the door. They went to the basement and checked on the pipes. Jack assumed that the problem was only due to simple clogging at the main line. So he performed some plumbing job, but sort of messed up the problem even more, not only hit himself on the head by a flying valve, but the pressure caused the pipe to blew up somewhere underneath, outside the house, causing some part of the ground to crack open. Back to the house, Jack told Crowley he would replace the valve for a new one. Crowley comforted him: “Every step’s a progress,at least you had found the heart of the problem”?He could never be more accurate!
Later that night, while Crowley fell asleep on his chair, smoke came from the crack and into the house. After he inhaled it, his eyes went black and acted abnormally. The next day, he woke up finding himself lying on the ground, outside the house, hands covered with mud. There was a hole, which believed dug by himself last night. He dug it deeper, only discovered something he shouldn’t:a box with a skeleton and a black heart! The heart suddenly went alive and got into his body…
Jack went to the hardware store, to look for the valve. Howard, the old-aged storekeeper, recognized the old valve, and alarmed when Jack told him he got it from the old house. Howard promised to order the valve, at the same time would tell Jack an evil story when he came to pick it up the next day.
Crowley woke up, not feeling as himself, with humongous appetite, and craving for meat ! He went to the class at night anyway, looking messy and unorganized. Hungry and itchy all over his body. He dismissed the class right before he started anything, with the reason: I’m Starving ! He bought more food and went home, only finding himself more carnivorous than ever.
Jack had an unpleasant conversation at the parking lot with Eve and John, and even hit John at his throat. The noisy John lost his voice and finally, shut up.
On the following day, Jack went for the counseling again, this time he discovered the ‘heart of this problem’ ! The reason he was always upset and angry, was because he could not forgive himself for running away when the monster attacked his family. Although Mr. Silverstein told him he shouldn’t feel sorry since he was only a kid at that time, but to Jack, he felt he should have done something!
At night, Jack went back to the hardware store for the valve, and the story. Howard told Jack, he was living in that house with his uncle back when he was a kid. His uncle even told him about the legend of a demon came to our world and tried to spread evils to the humans. The demon destroyed by some brave men, but they kept its heart as the trophy. The heart was been auctioned and passed around until his uncle found and kept it. It possessed his uncle and due to self-defense, young Howard shot him with a rifle and buried him, exactly where Crowley had found the heart.
After the story, Jack went for his class. Crowley’s condition worsened, and acted strangely and more ridiculous than ever. I’m not going to write out the details unless you want to spoil your appetite for your coming meals. Suddenly, his whole figure began to transform… And all hell break lose, a Monster he became !! So exactly 1 hour after the show.. lots of screaming, running, chasing, and as a host, Crowley transformed some students into hungry-zombie-like monsters. As you can witness in the trailer, not pretty at all!
After fighting hard to stay alive, Jack and Eve finally escaped from the school, in Jack’s car. Suddenly, Jack’s radio played the exact same song on the night his family been attacked. He stopped the car, threw Eve out, and headed back to the school. He decided to settle the score once and for all…
What happens next? Well, I figured you will have more fun finding it out yourself. Unless you’re really eager to know, drop me a comment.
Overall, I enjoyed it because I didn’t expect it to be great. You need to cut it some slack, because it’s actually the combination of old-times-monster movie + Army of Darkness type storyline. When the regular guy becomes the monster slayer after accidentally awaken the ancient curse! So it is absurd, with averagely ok effects, even without much CGI, and rely only the make-ups and costumes to do the tricks. Not to mention some parts are actually quite funny too. Crazy horror movie, but I can’t help myself laughing at the end of the show !
