It's a horror film spoof, enjoy it for what it is! There are so many more films that actually are much worse. M. Emmet does a good job of bringing Lloyd's cynical character to life. The cinematography is not bad (lots of night scenes as required by genre). All the major horror film elements are there and each is spoofed in turn. Even the monster shows off and is far from being the worst screen monster ever seen. Don't forget the disbelieving town police and their "monster...what monster" attitude. Yes, it's all there...terror, monster and laughs. If you've got 90 minutes, sit back and enjoy the campy horror spoof with an interesting twist on the horror film genre. If you liked "Love At First Bite" with George Hamilton, you will most likely enjoy "Monster" too.
