The Giant Rubber Monster Movie: Sascratch Versus Afrodesious

Nutball director Thomas Berdinski (of "The Italian Zombie Movie" fame) is at it again with this wild short film originally done for an indie horror anthology called "The Collective". "The Giant Rubber Monster Movie: Sascratch vs, Afrodesious" again, succeeds where others have failed, for many of the same reasons as Berdinski's "IZM"--it laughs WITH the source/inspiration material rather than laughs AT it. And that, friends, makes for a wickedly entertaining film!! TGRMM features the talents of just about every horror host East of the Rockies, some in mere photos or cameos, and some in meatier roles--witness Sigmund Zoid's super villain or smoking hot/goofy news anchors Marlena Midnite & Robyn Graves. The "heroes" of the story Miko and Ken, are wonderfully played by Brendan and Jeff Bromley, a father & son team in real life, which must explain the excellent comedy timing and chemistry they display here. The monsters are straight out of Toho, the effects are strictly cheese, the martial arts are suitably "chop-socky" the gore is ample, the laughs are plentiful, and the performances are, like Dr. Zoid's ship, out of this world! Put it on your "must watch" list!! Your face is gonna hurt from smiling so much!
