Well, I can't lie here and say that I was expecting a whole lot from writers and directors The Snygg Brothers for this 2022 thriller titled "Monsters in the Closet". Why? Well, everything was just screaming low budget here. But still, as I hadn't already seen it, I opted to give it a chance.
And lets just be honest here, you are not in for any grand award-winning movie experience when you sit down to watch "Monsters in the Closet". And yeah, "Monsters in the Closet" is every bit as low budget and low key as you would expect it to be. However, the movie had a peculiar charm to it, and it was that particular low budget and amateurish feel that made "Monsters in the Closet" a watchable and sort of enjoyable movie experience.
Yup, "Monsters in the Closet" is one of those low budget movies that actually are so bad that it becomes fun to watch.
The movie has an abundance of things to make you laugh while you watch it, from the dubious acting performances, hilariously bad special effects, sound effects that sounded like something from a 1990s computer game, and just sheer, downright goofy campiness.
Now, "Monsters in the Closet" is not a movie that will appeal to a wide general audience, as you must really appreciate low budget and B-movies to be enjoying this one.
I wasn't familiar with the cast ensemble in this 2022 movie, but I will say that it definitely looked like the actors and actresses were having fun participating in making this thriller become reality. And it was that particular devotion to the art of making a movie that lifted up the movie a notch.
My rating of "Monsters in the Closet" lands on a four out of ten stars.
