Description

Jack Brooks, a plumber, has an anger problem, and why shouldn’t he? His girlfriend’s a nag, he’s stuck taking night classes, his van’s barely running—and there’s also the little matter of witnessing his entire family killed and eaten by some sort of troll monster when he was just a boy. Jack’s got issues, issues that erupt in bursts of violence and rage. Luckily for him, he’s about to find an appropriate target...

A low-budget, splattery comedy-horror, JACK BROOKS MONSTER SLAYER stars co-writer and co-producer Trevor Matthews as the titular Jack, a troubled young man whose life has been largely derailed by his anger issues, until he finds himself in the middle of a full-on creature attack, forced to defend himself and his night school classmates from a bloody end while dealing with his own issues in the process. The cause of the monster invasion? A cursed heart, swallowed by Jack’s science teacher Professor Crowley—played brilliantly by Robert Englund of NIGHTMARE ON ELM STREET fame—that slowly transforms the genial if bumbling scientist into a massive, tentacled and very hungry demon beast.

JACK BROOKS has everything you could ask of a creature feature. A memorable antihero, genuinely funny support players, squishy effects and a career-highlight-reel performance from Englund, who shows a surprising gift for physical slapstick comedy. A true crowd-pleaser, JACK BROOKS has left audiences cheering throughout a successful run around the globe.
