There’s a lot of that kind of thing in ‘Monster’, a briskly-paced jaw dropper pungent enough to subdue even likes of Donald Pleasance, who here seems as baffled as anyone. It all has to do with ex-stripper Joan having been cursed by an angry dwarf! Find of the year. |
Did you pick up the Network Blu, Frankie? It's a nice package with plentiful extras and booklet that i recommend if you haven't.
