Synopsis

"I used to be a plumber..."

JACK BROOKS: MONSTER SLAYER is a hugely entertaining, gore-drenched comedy horror and Jon Knautz's directorial debut starring Rachel Skarsten, Daniel Kash and James A Woods.

After witnessing the brutal murder of his family, Jack Brooks (Trevor Matthews) is left with an unquenchable fury and emotions he is constantly trying to keep under control. Years later, working as a local plumber and struggling to keep any relationship together, Jack's life is rapidly heading towards a downward spiral.

One night, while fixing his college professor's water system (Horror legend Robert Englund, best known as Freddy Krueger), an ancient demon is awakened and the subsequent evil force is unleashed. As Professor Crowley becomes possessed and transforms into a creature of legends, Jack finally realises the true reasons for his inner rage and how he can no longer run from the past...
