Ticket Giveaway: 'Jack Brooks: Monster Slayer'

I gave you the lowdown on Jack Brooks: Monster Slayer when I gave it a positive review last weekend (and I'm not alone, as the films been getting good reception all 'round). Short version: the Canadian-made indie horror-comedy tries to recreate the fun of those good ol' 80s splatter movies, and while never quite reaching the heights of 'Evil Dead 2' or 'Cabin Fever', it's a hell of a lot fun; full of enough gore and laughs to fill anyone's need for ninety minutes of escapism.

The movie opens on Friday, but we've got a handful of passes for a 7:00pm Thursday night preview screening downtown at the Granville 7. If you're not en route to Pemberton, wrapped up in a pre-No Age beer pong tournament, or heaven forbid, seeing Judas Priest at GM Place, you can't do much better for Thursday evening entertainment than free gore.

Here's the theatrical trailer, which doesn't really do the movie justice. Regardless, it'll give you the tone of the flick (though it plays up the horror and sidelines the comedy) -- and reminded me of veteran David Fox's scene-stealing performance as a hardware store owner, which I forgot to mention earlier. To view a higher quality version and see all the details on the production, check out the official website.

So all you've gotta do to secure a pass for you and a friend is be one of the first eight people to post a comment with your all-time favorite horror film, and make sure to include your email address.

Seeya on Thursday!
