Reviews

Entertainment Weekly -
Fred Dekker’s 1987 horror comedy is, like totally, the ultimate ’80s movie. An agreeably goofy, Little Rascals-meets-The Goonies time passer, the movie is proudly anti-CGI.

Empire -
Sharper than a stake in it's genre references, The Monster Squad appeals to cinephile as well as teen sensibilities.

|
IGN -
The film paints a nostalgic portrait of the fears we all shared as children - the common knowledge that when our parents left the room, the monsters under our beds - or locked inside our closest - started to shift and scratch; that our only friend in the midnight hour was the nightlight in the corner of the room.

Los Angeles Times -
The Monster Squad is such fun, it makes you wish you were a kid again.

Film Threat -
It’s every kids dream to fight monsters, and in some ways The Monster Squad helps us live out that fantasy. And it’s a damn good film chalk full of horror movie references, and nods to classic films that only the discernible eye can catch.
