One of my all time favorites.

Awesome Movie

A waste of 90 minutes of my life

All of these films share one commonality, that being a kind of emotional center that humanizes a cast of monsters.

I will freely admit that "Monsturd" is a horrible film. After all, it IS called "Monsturd"! However, I assume that the folks who made this pile of crap, Rick Popko and Dan West, WANTED TO MAKE A TERRIBLE FILM! In many ways, this reminds me of "Attack of the Killer Tomatoes"—a deliberately bad but enjoyable ultra-low budget film. Because of this, although the film is bad, it's watchably bad!As the title would suggest, this film is about a monster made out of excrement. When the film begins, a mad scientist and his assistant pour a glowing concoction into the sewers and soon it grows into a ridiculous creature that runs about killing the generally dumb locals. To protect this town is perhaps the dumbest (and funniest) police force in film history. The only one who isn't totally clueless is the Sheriff. And, with help from an FBI agent, they take on this creature in order to save humanity at the big annual Chili Cook-Off! How they accomplish this is simply amazing…and not in a brilliant way but in a 'what were they smoking when they made this film?' sort of way!Be forewarned. This is a disgusting and deliberately offensive movie. In fact, Popko and West seem to try very, very hard to make it this way. I could repeat some of the dialog and the name given to the monster, but I don't think that IMDb would appreciate that! Suffice to say, the film contains tons of scatological terms, tons of (hopefully) fake poo, tons of vomit and it never tries to be subtle or anything more than a stupid and often vulgar low-budget film. And, I can appreciate that. It's certainly NOT a film to show your mother, your kids, Father Flannigan or even your pets. But it does have 'Guilty Pleasure' written all over it if you are a bad movie freak. I have a rather high tolerance for dreck and this one manages to be horrible but funny at the same time. Some of the best scenes involve the cops—and you just have to see them to believe them! A truly memorable film

A different set of critical criteria must be used when discussing a movie like 2003's "Monsturd," as opposed to, say, "Bonnie and Clyde" or "Wild Strawberries." Rather than seeking out subtle religious symbolism, impeccable acting, complex mise en scene or probing examinations of man's place in the universe, the issue boils down to one all-important question: Is the movie fun? Happily, in the case of "Monsturd," the answer is a decided yes. In it, the viewer meets escaped serial killer Jack Schmitt, who falls into a mess of experimental waste dumped down the sewer by the evil corporation Dutech and transforms into an 8'-high, lumbering (and to quote what is perhaps the picture's most amusing line) "fecal humanoid." And this sentient dejecta's propensity to attack the citizens of Butte County, CA through their toilets becomes even more problematic with the arrival of the area's annual chili cookoff! Anyway, this film (if one can even call it a film, having been shot straight to video) features higher production values than you might be expecting, and indeed looks a lot better than it deserves. Some of the gross-out scenes are fairly effective, and you will probably not feel like scarfing down chocolate pudding for many days after watching them. Naturally, the picture sports much in the way of toilet humor, some of it lame, much of it pretty funny (such as the sight of our heroes gearing up to do battle with the Monsturd by donning diaper helmets and priming their Super Soakers with anti-diarrhea medication...law and ordure!). The acting is so very amateurish that it is quite a hoot; too bad they couldn't get actresses Alison Doody and Merrin Dungey to star in this thing...and Italian filmmaker Pupi Avati to direct, for that matter! So yes, on the criterion of fun, "Monsturd" does satisfy. And for those who are interested, I've got the perfect title for a possible sequel. Are you ready? "Humanure"!

This is a thoroughly enjoyable movie inasmuch as it never takes itself seriously.It's full of sight gags, burlesque and double entendre throughout. This is truly a send-up of all B-horror movies.I read about the film makers and it appears they wanted to make a film something like "Jack Frost," but with a "character" that was 180 degrees apart from the sanitary Jack.***SPOILERS*** Don't miss the bit with the ventriloquist dummy and take note of the name of the serial killer.Well done and entertaining. A "don't-miss" for any aficionado of satire.

The makers of Monsturd set out to make a movie that would be so "crappy" it's funny. They even tried adding jokes in and funny bits. Oh they're funny, but just because grown people actually spent hours of their lives dedicated to this. Here's the thing, if you like horrible movies with horrible acting for the sake of laughing at it, this is one to see once and probably only once. If nothing else it'll make you feel a lot better about what you're doing with your life. Also, the more people you're watching this with the better. I'd give a grade or a star to this movie, but it's not even worthy of that. In fact, it's not even worthy of being called a movie. It's just, Monsturd...the biggest piece of crap man ever created. So yeah, go rent it.
