Not sure how, but this is easily one of the best movies all summer. Multiple levels of funny, never takes itself seriously, super colorful, and creative.

Like the great film, it's made with a great deal of visible affection both in front of and behind the camera.

A different set of critical criteria must be used when discussing a movie like 2003's "Monsturd," as opposed to, say, "Bonnie and Clyde" or "Wild Strawberries." Rather than seeking out subtle religious symbolism, impeccable acting, complex mise en scene or probing examinations of man's place in the universe, the issue boils down to one all-important question: Is the movie fun? Happily, in the case of "Monsturd," the answer is a decided yes. In it, the viewer meets escaped serial killer Jack Schmitt, who falls into a mess of experimental waste dumped down the sewer by the evil corporation Dutech and transforms into an 8'-high, lumbering (and to quote what is perhaps the picture's most amusing line) "fecal humanoid." And this sentient dejecta's propensity to attack the citizens of Butte County, CA through their toilets becomes even more problematic with the arrival of the area's annual chili cookoff! Anyway, this film (if one can even call it a film, having been shot straight to video) features higher production values than you might be expecting, and indeed looks a lot better than it deserves. Some of the gross-out scenes are fairly effective, and you will probably not feel like scarfing down chocolate pudding for many days after watching them. Naturally, the picture sports much in the way of toilet humor, some of it lame, much of it pretty funny (such as the sight of our heroes gearing up to do battle with the Monsturd by donning diaper helmets and priming their Super Soakers with anti-diarrhea medication...law and ordure!). The acting is so very amateurish that it is quite a hoot; too bad they couldn't get actresses Alison Doody and Merrin Dungey to star in this thing...and Italian filmmaker Pupi Avati to direct, for that matter! So yes, on the criterion of fun, "Monsturd" does satisfy. And for those who are interested, I've got the perfect title for a possible sequel. Are you ready? "Humanure"!

Kubrick, Kurosawa, Fellini......their combined output pales into veritable insignificance when compared to this work of high cinematic art!Here we have a movie that is efficaciously critic proof; After all, how can anyone really level any serious constructive criticism at a film that centres around the exploits of a gargantuan turd?! Yes it's completely revolting, yes the humour is juvenile, yes the acting is somewhat less than masterful but frankly, who gives a shi- ahem, damn? This is simply so much fun throughout!Best bits? So many to choose from but check out the ventriloquists dummy scene, the puking in the sewer scene and the man going mad whilst attempting to clean his toilet scene just for starters!To everyone involved in the making of this faecal classic....I salute you all! Any chance of a sequel?

I love movies, I do, I love even really dastardly bad ones. But this one, was one of those very few, that are so bad you can't even laugh at their stench (pun intended). This is House Of The Dead bad. I go into a movie called Monsturd and yeah expect a really bad movie, but it could have at least been a bad movie that had excellent acting, or a bad movie that had good camera angles. This movie had not even one saving factor. Yeah, it made me laugh that the moronic prison guards were obviously fooled by a mop with a fake painted doll under it. I haven't seen this in a while so if I'm incorrect about some of the detail there I'm sorry, it's not like it would matter. Nothing can possibly make this movie worse than it is. The sound is terrible, even Cannibal The Musical rivals it (I like that movie, but the sound is still bad) . Again, showing that there isn't even one saving grace for this movie to be near watchable. I love offensive movies, I really do, I like The Toxic Avenger, and Class Of Nukem High, because they are A class stink fests but at least they are shot semi-well. Anybody could shoot a movie like this with their dad's old hand-held camera from the 60's. It might have even saved it if it were black and white, so you could avoid the fact that nothing was done to even give it art direction. Ever seen the movie Slashers? That movie was so bad you could laugh, this movie takes you right into the land of the not even stupid enough to be funny.

I just watched Monsturd. It was dumb movie, but it was supposed to be that way.Although I've seen better, I thought it was pretty good.Lots of funny parts. My favorite part is when the sketch artist is talking to the little girl and asking all kinds of crazy questions. It was hilarious.I also loved how the monster smeared crap all over the bathrooms and wrote messages on the walls. I saw another poster say something about a Monsturd 2, I don't know if that's true or not but if it is I'll definitely pick it up. If you're into low budget horror/comedies, Monsturd is worth a watch.
