Plot from Imdb: "As a child Jack Brooks witnessed the brutal murder of his family. Now a young man he struggles with a pestering girlfriend, therapy sessions that resolve nothing, and night classes that barely hold his interest. After unleashing an ancient curse, Jack's Professor undergoes a transformation into something not-quite- human, and Jack is forced to confront some old demons... along with a few new ones."
Joyful ride into the pulp world of Monsters and Fantastic beings, "Jack Brooks.." never takes itself too seriously and archive to be fun all the way. It's a bit slow at first but after the first half-hour exposition, things get into motion. Of course, as the plot unfolds, I grew more and more excited to see cult actor Robert Englund erratic behavior turned into a demoniac possession. Very funny at moment, it's also a real homage to our childhood first battles: kill all those repulsive monsters that threatened us in our nightmares. Strangely, some of our others "nightmares" were related to school, or to some professors. This movie does us justice, a bit like Robert Rodriguez's "The Faculty" did for the "alien conspiracy" genre. A nice homage to the fantastic literary genre. I specially love the ending that gives an almost mythical aura to Jack's.
We want to see more.
