Do you find ***censored*** funny? What about farts? Vomit? Disintegrating bloody corpses?

If you can answer “yes” to any of those questions, Monsturd is right up your alley, because Monsturd is about a walking, talking, murdering turd-man. He comes up through your toilet, kills you while you’re pooping and then writes clever one-liners with smeared fecal material on your walls. Don’t get caught with your pants down, indeed!

Monsturd opens with an escaped murderer on the loose. He comes into contact with some toxic wasted that has been dumped by some evil scientists. The toxic waste cause his DNA to be fused with the feces in the sewer and thus is born… MONSTURD! Since the Monsturd does its murderous business while people are taking a crap, the killing spree is even threatening to shut-down the town’s beloved Chili Festival. Something must be done!

For the most part, Monsturd is played completely straight with lots of great deadpan dialogue. A lot of the humor does revolve around crap - and there is an excessively great vomit sequence - but a lot of the humor just comes from the excellent writing. Creators Dan West and Rick Popko steal scene after scene in their roles as bumbling sherrif’s deputies.

Creators Dan West and Rick Popko have done an excellent job of creating a high-quality and highly watchable flick on a shoestring budget. You shouldn’t let the fact that it’s shot-on-video scare you away because the production values are high all-around. The acting is great, the directing is fast-paced and the score is incredible for a movie on this budget level. There is also some GREAT gore if you’re into that kind of thing. Lots of gruesome decomposing corpses that are plenty gruesome but at the same time cartoony enough to be fun.

If Monsturd has a flaw, it’s that there is almost too much going on. The movie never really slows down to give you time to associate with a central character. It opens with lots of people running around with great urgency and they pretty much keep running for the movies 80-minute running time.

There is nothing that is all that original about MONSTURD. You’ve seen the toxic monster, the mad scientists, the bumbling deputies, and the H.G. Lewis style gore in plenty of other movies. But Monsturd has a goofy enthusiasm and manic energy that helps to blend all the traditional elements into something pretty fresh.
