A quiet suburb in Southern California is terrorized by a mysterious murderous monster living in a cave. As the bodies pile up -- with incriminating banana peels always near by the crime scene -- a group of teens stumble on the guilty party: a 20-million-year-old Schlockthropus, an ape-like creature with a sense of the absurd.

Mit ,,Schlock“ lieferte John Landis sein Regiedebüt über einen Menschlichen Affen (gespielt durch einen Typen im Affenkostüm) der eine Stadt terrorisiert ab. Einfach Wahnsinn was für ein Bodycount dieser Affe hat!

Sehr stupide, dumm und trotz einigen längen noch immer sehr unterhaltsam.

Völlig Banane.

I’m sorry but this movie is kind of awesome. I didn’t think I would like this but it had me cackling, there are so many just straight up hilarious scenes. It does just feel like Landis is having a blast while making this while paying homage to the movies he loved. really enjoyed this.
