Okay, so while lying in bed trying to die of an awful, awful cold, I ran across this title on the movie guide and after convulsing into uncontrollable laughter, thought "Naw....it just COULDN'T be about THAT!!!.."

Oh, but it is!!!!!

I saw Ron Jeremy's name and thought "now that name sounds familiar..." Suffice it to say, it is indeed THAT Ron Jeremy, the alltime super porn star of the 70s/80s who was known far and wide for his one-eyed monster.

This is a very clever take on that theme. A porn film crew goes to Northern California to shoot a movie and gets trapped by a blizzard, a "shooting star" (no pun intended) and of course the one-eyed monster that positively terrorizes the entire crew. Believe it or not, the production values are quite good, elevating this waaay above cheesy. Moreover, the ensemble cast is excellent while the writing is crisp, witty, and hilarious. Of course it was also sick and twisted but I laughed until I cried. The outstanding performance, hands down, is that of Veronica Hart, an aging porn star who eventually "saves the day." (you will NOT be well for how she does it!!!)

Hate to be so cryptic but if your tastes run the gamut from the absurd to the sublime (this most assuredly being sublime), this should DEFINITELY be part of your collection. It is quite funny and though it didn't cure my cold, it sure made me forget I had one!!

January 6, 2010 - watched again for about the 8th time - eeeeeeeeeeexcellent way to bring in the New Year!!!! - movie just rocks!!!! :0)

I admit I don't have mainstream taste in movies, especially comedies. I count among my favorites "Bad Santa," "Shaun of the Dead," "Dead Alive" and tv shows like "Arrested Development" and "Strangers with Candy." So if you're into Tim Allen movies (although I loved "Galaxy Quest"), this one probably isn't for you.

"One-Eyed Monster" knows what it is. It's one of those rare breed of horror comedies that refuses to acknowledge it's a comedy, which makes it all the funnier for its absurd premise. I loved that about it. The acting (mostly unknowns, but probably not for long) was sensational. Everyone--EVERYONE--played it straight and didn't wink the humor. This isn't "Scary Movie" or even "Scream." This is more like an even funnier "Tremors."

I've never heard of this filmmaker before, but he captured lightning in a bottle here. Charles Napier doing his own version of Robert Shaw's "Quint" character from "Jaws" is worth the price of the dvd. I discovered this movie because my Netflix recommendation said I would like it if I liked the Stone/Parker gem "Team America." They weren't wrong. Some of the extras on this are just as funny as the movie.

I watched this last night and enjoyed it. Not because it was good. It's not good and the movie knows that. But it's not horrible either. It's probably the best movie about a killer dick I've ever seen. (come to think of it, it might be the only one I've seen seen). Think those bad movies they put on the SciFi channel on Saturdays and make it funnier and involving a 9 3/4 inch dick. The movie has comedy, a little bit of porn (nothing super graphic, which surprised me), science fictiony stuff, porn stars, a wee bit of serious stuff thrown in, and of course, horror without too much gore. If you like not so great movies, I'd recommend checking it out. If you like porn, check it out. If you like Ron Jeremy, check it out. Ditto for Amber Bensen. Heck, if you've always wanted to see a killer dick go on a rampage, check it out.

I saw that this was coming on one night and stayed up to watch it, it looked so absurd.

Boy am I glad I did. I ordered it the next day.

It's probably R-Rated, if so it's for language and one scene with a girl topless.

So even though Ron Jeremy's in it, it's not hard-core porn. Except for the cussing, it's much more tame than your average Cinemax movie.

It is one of the funniest movies I've seen in a long time.

It's a laugh a minute with some subtle and some not so subtle humor.

If you like absurd humor, it's for you.

This movie was totally crazy. The idea of a penis running around killing people is wild. We laughed so hard in parts of the movie. We have already told a few other people about the movie. The only thing I wouldve like was to see more of the monster. I also thought the movie was very well thought out. I felt this movie was so stupid that you had to laugh. It is worth checking out.

If you like B-Rate slasher movies, you will like this one. It is seriously the funniest movie I have seen in the last year. I recommend getting it, but don't watch it with the kids around.

If you've read the synopsis of this movie and are still on the page, then this movie is for you, whether you're a fan of the campy horror genre or a Ron Jeremy fan. This is not a good "movie" it's more what the "scary movies" should have been. If you can get past the premise and just sit back and laugh, deffinately worth the price of admission.

Just the premise of this movie cracks me up. I can't believe this movie actually got made. It's not the best horror film on the planet, but it is a very entertaining mix of horror, comedy, and just plain silliness.

This movie is great.....as long as you realize that it's a joke. The greatest thing about this movie is that it doesn't take it's self too seriously. I think all "horror" movies are to some degree corny and this one is no exception to that rule. But somehow against all odds for a movie of this type they were able to turn corny into funny. As long as you are amused by penis humor that is. Ron Jeremy's acting is terrible, of course, but it somehow adds to the charm of this movie. So if you want to watch a movie that will in absolutely no way make you a better person or improve your intellect in any way at all (in fact might make you dumber) but want to spend about an hour of your life laughing like a maniac then this is the movie for you.

Ok I know what many are thinking about a film called "One Eyed Monster" and you are correct, it is about that. What I mean is that this film is about a killer penis, or to be more specific Ron Jeremy's penis. Without giving too much away, what we have here is a film that takes Ron Jeremy's penis and turns it into a ravening monster (which I believe many girls in the adult industry say already, in a loving way). The cast is great with adult cinema alumns Veronica Hart, Carmen Hart, and of course Ron. It also boasts actress and author extrondinaire Amber Benson along with genre vet Charles Napier. The film is a comedic homage to such classics like The Thing and Alien. So buckle your seatbelt and strap yourself in for a rollicking good time.
