A wild and crazy homage to such 80s horrors as Evil Dead, From Beyond and The Fly, oozing slime, weird creatures, gruesome transformations and good old-fashioned geek gore fuel director Jon Knautz’s mutant mind meld. Jack Brooks is a moody young plumber given to fits of uncontrollable anger whenever he hears Bobby Darin’s pop classic ‘Beyond the Sea’. And with good reason: During a camping trip years earlier, he was traumatized watching his family devoured by a bloodthirsty beast. Trying hard to be normal, he takes night school science classes with his girlfriend Eve. But when their professor (genre icon Robert Englund) is transformed into a multi-tentacle monster, thanks to an ancient black heart that forces its way inside him, Jack at long last finds a useful way to channel his violent temper. A slyly amusing, genially energetic and consistently entertaining campy horror comic destined for cult classic status.
 

Directed by Jon Knautz. Starring Trevor Matthews – Jack Brooks, Robert Englund – Professor Crowley, Rachel Skarstein – Eve, David Fox – Howard and Stefanie Drummond - Janice. Canada 2007, 90 minutes. UK distributor Momentum Pictures. Web site
