Watching Monster In A Closet I'd say the film hit about 60% of the time with gags
it employed in this film. But I warn you had better have seen a lot of classic
science fiction about monsters coming to earth or being discovered here already
or you won't get half of what is shown.
I think about half the budget must have been spent on getting some name guest stars to do their thing and support the two less than charismatic leads Donald Grant and Denise Dubarry. But when you get folks like Claude Akins as the redneck sheriff, Henry Gibson as an eccentric scientist, Stella Stevens as a woman in a shower, Jesse White as a hardboiled newspaper editor, Howard Duff as a rather vacuous priest, and John Carradine who is one of the first victims this becomes an item to take a look at.
I really liked what Howard Duff did with the priest. He must have watched Alec Guinness did with his vicar character in Kind Hearts And Coronets.
You even get to see young Paul Walker make his screen debut as a genius kid everyone calls the Professor.
You'll recognize so many moments from some classic monster films, I dare not tell you.
