Jack Terry (Joey Collins) is a successful commercial photographer. He is on the verge of an enormously successful series of shoots. Everything is going his way except his relationship with his wife Carol (Ena O’Rourke) which hit the skids after a brief drunken fling with a model he was photographing.
Jack frequently sees a monster and he feels it is attacking him making him weak and hallucinatory. He deteriorates physically and mentally which he attributes to a monster only he can see.
For a “classic” monster film there were no chills running down my spine and the monster wasn’t frightening.
Halfway through the film let me tell you I began to realize I have seen this monster. It is real and indescribably eviller than any monster you have seen on the screen. When I realized that this is the monster that killed my friend the chills did not call but rather a sense of foreboding and dread hoping not to reach the painful conclusion I had reached.
Now this monster is attacking another friend of mine.
If this monster has attacked anyone you may know you may recognize its dreadful power. If not get ready to meet perhaps the most vicious monster known to man.
I knew a Jack Terry.
RKS 2024 Film Rating 93/100.
Ena O’Rourke is absolutely compelling. Just watch her in the restaurant scene where she transcends acting. A ray of sunshine in this monstrously chilling film.
Directed by Mike Taylor, who has encountered this monster, and it will be released on VOD on 30January2024.
