10 Great Films Under 95 Minutes Long

10. The Monster Squad (79 Mins)

The Monster Squad is a group of pre-teens who meet to geek out about all thing’s monsters. They particularly idolise the classic movie monsters made popular by Hammer Film Productions. However, when many of these monsters prove to be real and begin wreaking havoc around the town, The Monster Squad needs to mobilise against them.

The film is a tongue-in-cheek romp, in which The Monster Squad uses their encyclopaedic knowledge of their enemies to battle against Dracula’s rival squad: a sort of horror themed Avengers comprised of The Wolf Man, Gill-man, Frankenstein’s Monster and - somewhat anti-climactically - a mummy.

All the monsters look great, even if they’ve all got a touch of the best-Halloween-costume-at-the-party vibe about them. Except for Dracula who looks like he just came from the office and grabbed the first costume he could find.

Dracula makes up for it though with a genuinely menacing performance. Duncan Regehr is great as the iconic vampire and chews the scenery every time he’s onscreen.
