Maybe it's the gritty urban setting, making it look like a 70s, socially conscious, cop drama... This gives it a patina of respectability, but then you have lightbulb-eyed rubber monsters straight from the 50s' cheapest sci-fi, which I respect but I understand that it's not a well respected film staple.</p><p>Look, it's a weird combo, and I like weird combos. Also John Goodman is on this for a few seconds, so I give this movie a heartfelt 馃憤. But I hope the sequel is sillier.</p><p><a href="/tags/movies/" rel="tag">#movies</a> <a href="/tags/chud/" rel="tag">#CHUD</a> <a href="/tags/monsters/" rel="tag">#monsters</a> <a href="/tags/morlocks/" rel="tag">#morlocks</a><br></p>
