A hideous creature (played by Predator performer Kevin Peter Hall) emerges from closets to kill innocent people; aspiring reporter Clark (Donald Grant), scientist Dr. Pennyworth (Henry Gibson), youngster 'Professor' Bennett (Fast and Furious star-to-be Paul Walker) and his mother Diane (Denise DuBarry) attempt to try and work out what drives the monster and how to stop it.Given its suggestive title and San Francisco setting, I thought that Monster in the Closet would have some kind of gay agenda, but apart from the fact that the (presumably male) creature carries off handsome reporter Clark at the end, instead of the girl, the film doesn't really explore any potential homosexual subtext. Instead, this silly Troma film concentrates on what the studio specialises in: dumb comedy and even dumber horror, with a smattering of topless female nudity (courtesy of middle-aged MILF Stella Stevens). It's all extremely daft, the gags weak and the monster a hilarious z-grade rubber creation with an Alien-like extendable mandible, but it's reasonably undemanding fun for those who enjoy schlock.From a technical standpoint, the film does rise above the usual Troma output, with smart editing and plenty of impressive fluid camera movement (including what I believe to be Louma crane shots), so much so that I was surprised to see that director Bob Dahlin didn't go onto bigger and better things (on the contrary, this was his only ever movie as director). The film also benefits from a cast of familiar faces that includes Donald Moffat, Claude Akins, John Carradine, and Fergie from The Black Eyed Peas in her movie debut.4.5, rounded up to 5 for managing to show Stella Stevens in the shower, not once, but three times!

This one is sorta a mixed spoof of science fiction alien-like monster that hides in the closet, creature horror and silly comedy. We have a helpful scientist wanting to communicate and study the monster. There is a news reporter wanting his first big break looking like Clark Kent. A Priest that is willing to exercise the demon creature. And the military out to hunt down and kill it. The film is pretty much what you think it would be - silly non-sense that is kinda funny at times. The film does not take itself seriously so it easy to kick-back and enjoy.It's a shame that John Carradine's character was killed off very early. They missed out on some potentially really funny scenes.This one is not a bad watch if you like these type films - it's nothing special but OK if nothing better on or you are just in mood for a film of this nature.6/10

~Spoiler~ Monster in the Closet is another dumb horror/comedy that is neither funny nor scary. This one is from Troma, but it looks a little glossier than what the studio normally puts out. I say that because of the cast and the creature design. I've never heard of the leads, but some of the supporting cast are rather famous. Henry Gibson, Claude Akins, John Carradine, Donald Moffat, Paul Dooley, and Stella Stevens are some good character actors to have in a project like this. Also featured are a young Paul Walker and Stacy "Fergie" Ferguson. I bet they don't even remember this one, and wouldn't admit to it if they did. Kevin Peter Hall (Predator) is playing the titular closet monster. The plot is simple: The monster comes out of the closet and kills people and nothing or no one can stop it. There are many attempts at humor, but most of it is just boring. It all ends in a silly finale where the world has to destroy their closets. The movie was apparently filmed in 1983 but didn't get released until 1987. I wonder why?

As sub product of Z series it's perfect, so don't be cruel with it,there is not q to ask him more. The monster is a little as an a bug with desires of company, I believe q in the fund is good person and what seeks he is affection, the hyphen he transmits certain sensation of I empty existence and you finish for wanted to listen radio head or the brothers who songs in Spain in 70's and one of them was very ugly and they made a cover of space oddity...I think that has more fund of it q many think and I do not intend to create cathedral. I notify that my English is pathetic. It is a good piece who that that throw the dogs when they remove them to stroll. and who the contrary thing say. ..me it as!!! ; PI live the monster baby!
