"a potentially duff idea (disgruntled plumber finds outlet for his anger issues by kicking monster butt) is elevated by the funniest character acting of the entire FrightFest 2008."
Little White Lies
Anton Bitel
4.5/5
"has the potential to spawn a successful franchise"

C+
"A polite tip of the hat to
Evil Dead
and all things
Buffy,
this horror/comedy is lacking proper oomph in both categories, resulting in a movie of commendable purpose, but lackluster realization."

"This old-school throwback to '80s era horror movies takes pride in the teen screams extracted by its goo-spurting, tentacled monster and his newly minted henchmen as they attack an unfortunate group of young college students."

2/5
"Tries so hard to be an instant cult classic, but it doesn't quite make the cut."
eFilmCritic.com
David Cornelius
2/4
"For artistic representation,
Jack Brooks: Monster Slayer
gets a near-perfect score, less so for its restrained sense of fun."
Slant Magazine
Ed Gonzalez
3/4
"A damn good horror comedy with great performances, a fun if traditional story, and some brutal gore and grue..."
Cinema Crazed
Felix Vasquez Jr.
"For about an hour of running time nothing much actually happens . . ."
Sci-Fi Movie Page
James O'Ehley
2.5/5
"The path to Jack's calling is a slow one, even for a fan base used to extended setups."
Film Threat
Matthew Sorrento
2.5/5
"If you can wait until near the end, you're in for some fun. But after an hour-plus, it's a pretty long wait."

4/5
"
Jack Brooks: Monster Slayer
has cult classic written all over it."
Mike Bracken's Horror Films
Mike Bracken
4/5
"Hardly the re-invention of the genre wheel, but that's fine by me. It's just a whole bunch of sick, sly, silly fun."
FEARnet
Scott Weinberg
3/5
"May not quite be the cult classic in the making that it so clearly sets out to be, but at least its influences and intent are always worn plainly upon its blood-stained sleeve."
