Simply Perfect

I don't have all the words right now but this film is a work of art.

The plot isn't so bad, but the pace of storytelling is too slow which makes people bored. Certain moments are so obvious and unnecessary for the main plot. I would've fast-forwarded those moments if it was an online streaming. The ending looks like implying a sequel, not sure if this movie will get one

This film is so real. It treats its characters with so much care and sensitivity.

I was 30 when the movie was made and, then, just starting out on my career. The very first thing to grab my attention was Paul Walker who was obviously a kid back then. I have to wonder if he would have willingly taken the fame ride if he knew, even subconsciously, that it would end when it did. Of course, no one knows the day they will die but it's still a tad bit creepy to me to see this in retrospect. Then, I tried to find out more about Donald Grant online and there is NOTHING. I'm gay. I went through the whole AIDS thing (lived in San Francisco, now a NYer) which surely damaged my psyche and killed so many of my friends. I wonder if this was Donald Grant's fate. If you know otherwise, please tell me. I don't know; I can only speculate.I thought the movie was hilarious. I loved Howard Duff playing a priest! On first viewing I wondered whether the Alien monster copied Troma's monster until I looked it up and found that Alien preceded Monsters in the Closet by 7 yrs. So we know (wink, wink) who was copying who. This movie is very enjoyable and especially if you have Amazon Prime where you can see it for free.....WATCH IT! Luvs all of ya.

This one is sorta a mixed spoof of science fiction alien-like monster that hides in the closet, creature horror and silly comedy. We have a helpful scientist wanting to communicate and study the monster. There is a news reporter wanting his first big break looking like Clark Kent. A Priest that is willing to exercise the demon creature. And the military out to hunt down and kill it. The film is pretty much what you think it would be - silly non-sense that is kinda funny at times. The film does not take itself seriously so it easy to kick-back and enjoy.It's a shame that John Carradine's character was killed off very early. They missed out on some potentially really funny scenes.This one is not a bad watch if you like these type films - it's nothing special but OK if nothing better on or you are just in mood for a film of this nature.6/10

Usually I would avoid most anything (unless it's really old) with a PG rating; especially a horror movie. But i figured since it's a horror-comedy and the fact that most Troma movies from the 80's are pretty rad i'd give it a try. I'm glad i did, i mean there's no gore what so ever but there was a really cool looking monster. The monster lives in people's closets if you couldn't tell from the title. The beast can't seem to be stopped from killing people even from the military and there's the basic plot. Aside from the cool monster effects it also managed to provide some laughs. Oh and we do get a couple of brief nipple shots of a hottie with rather volumptuous breasts; but it's kind of a tease. If this monster movie parody was rated R it would definitely be a classic. Nothing too marvelous but it would be a nice way to introduce your kids to the pleasures of cheesy 80's horror without showing them anything too graphic.

I rented this movie based on user comments and was disapointed. It was OK, but I guess I expected more. I expected something along the lines of Fright Night or The Lost Boys. The title pretty much sums up the plot. John Carradine had a funny cameo, but everyone from Howard Duff to Henry Gibson are wasted. There is a funny shower scene with a nude Stella Stevens that is worth watching. To me it was the highlight of the movie. It was also interesting to see a young Paul Walker of Fast and Furious fame as a nerdy kid named Professor. 2 stars out of 4 and that is only because of the shower scene.
