Disturbing yet enthralling

Mostly, the movie is committed to the value of a good time.

While it is a pity that the story wasn't told with more visual finesse, this is trivial compared to our real-world problems. It takes a good movie to put that into perspective.

The premise of going out there finding real monsters is an interesting idea and it could have developed into a solid horror movie but alas the scriptwriters ran out of "ideas" (other that when can we cash the check) after the basic premise. The rest of the story is just meh.. you can watch it to the end or you can grab a nap. It really doesn't matter.

Mixed emotions by seeing the monsters. look, the first half is rather boring and even the interviews with the three monsters isn't satisfying. But I waited to see what the fuzz was all about and indeed, after half throughout this flick things go wrong.Is it original, no it doesn't because this is done years back when mockumentaries and found footage flicks were a hype. And yes, even here it's all shot in night vision when the creatures are awake.On part of the effects that is rather above mediocre. Clearly based on jump scene's. So for me it's a trip down nostalgia, not a good story and some moments even too cliché and even laughable but the last part makes it worth picking up.Gore 1/5 Nudity 0/5 Effects 2,5/5 Story 2/5 Comedy 0/5

Monster Project has an interesting concept, it's a found footage horror film about a group of annoying characters that want to interview people that think they're real monsters. However things get complicated when the three people they're interviewing are actual monsters. The middle of the film is definitely the best part, where they explore the haunted house where they're conducting the interviews, and then do the actual interviews. I enjoyed a lot of the things they did with the interviews, as they play around with the rules of the monsters. The problem parts of the film come before and after that, with the beginning being full of annoying and pointless character drama delivered by mediocre to bad actors. The worst being the camera man, which is one of the biggest sins a found footage film can have, as no one likes having an annoying guy talking off screen (and obviously in a sound booth) while everything's going on. The movie after the interviews is also deeply flawed, as a lot of monster rules set up during the interview are immediately broken. With the vampire going from a tattoo artist that licks her canvas's blood as part of her payment, to being a mindless beast. The skinwalker is also turned immediately into a generic werewolf, with the generic characteristics including a scratch turning the victim into a werewolf, even though the film went out of it's way to describe how someone becomes a skinwalker (murdering a family member). The CGI for the girl possessed by a demon is also really bad and distracting. I won't spoil the end, but I will say that it's also incredibly stupid, and there's a stupid Bagul scare at the very end.Overall, I'd advise people to stay away from Monster Factory unless you're a huge Found Footage Horror fan.

Lets start out that I'm not a big fan of the whole shaky camera filming everything movies. However...my wife showed me the trailer and the effects were actually decent. So we sat down with a couple of strong drinks...(Just in case we needed them to get through the movie) and watched it. Definitely had some creepy moments and for what it's worth, the acting wasn't completely terrible. It's the ending that threw me. The rest of the movie was fine and it looked like your typical horror movie ending. Don't worry...I don't do spoilers. Watch it and judge for yourself. For me...the ending just didn't fit. It wasn't needed and had basically nothing to do with the whole movie. Not a movie I'd watch more than once.
