The protagonist of, "Monster Slayer" is a down in the dumps young plumber, Jack (Trevor Matthews), who hates himself only because he survived an uncanny attack in which he remained orphan.

For the reason that his parents have been devoured by a monster while on a camping trip when he was a little boy, he remained deeply affected. So, to get over his past, Jack attends therapy.

Then Robert Englund (best known for playing the story bound serial killer Freddy Krueger in the “A Nightmare on Elm Street” series) makes an entrance.

He plays the role of an even-temperate mannered science teacher who transforms himself when he disinters a box in his garden. Assailed by a black heart that takes over his body, he turns into a Jabba the Hutt-like creature who dines on loath students and makes Jack do what he does best: slaughtering monsters.

The horror-comedy was made by Jon Knautz, an Ottawa-born writer-director, who invested in it the modest sum of $2.5 million. He also directed the 2007 “Moment of Truth,” as well as the 2004 “Teen Massacre,” s story about four youngsters who are sent to a forest to work on what they believe is a science experiment for class.

The film’s plot seems really far-fetched. It’s useless saying that the monster eating people is improbable, but it is very likely to appeal to public.
