Preposterous yet delightfully amusing horror-comedy that serves as a loving tribute to classic monster films. It’s remarkably short at about an hour and fifteen minutes before ending credits, but it wastes no time and packs a lot of action into the plot.
The core cast of kid protagonists are all adept at speaking writer Shane Black’s wisecracking dialogue. Further to its credit, it is much more violent than one might expect from a cheesy ‘80s kids movie but that’s partly what makes The Monster Squad so much fun.
