...i saw "MONSTER IN MY CLOSET" one day, back in the 90's, when i stayed home sick from school. It has always stuck with me as one of the more well-done tributes to 50's style scifi, while also being a very clever spoof of the genre.
The performances are all grade-8 cheese, but highly entertaining.
I've always been surprised by how much emotion i felt for the monster, in the final reel.
Even as a 12 year old kid i really felt the monster's love for the reporter. When he chooses death over not being able to fit in the closet with the guy, it almost brings a tear to my eye.
Of course, all these years later the entire concept of the closet and it's representation of repressed homosexuality just adds another wonderful layer to the satire.
This one really deserves more kudos!
