A while back the Backbrain reported on a monster movie that utilises the currently popular technique of “found footage” to tell its story of rampage and terror — this one not in a city, it seems, but more backwoods/small town-oriented. A conspiracy element runs through the movie, as the concept tells of deliberate suppression of the truth, which the compilation — made up of amateur footage comprising eight rolls of “badly damaged 16mm film” taken by some buddies on an end-of-summer vacation — purports to expose.
Monster Movie was co-director John Polonia’s final film before he died on 25 February at age 39.
Monster Movie (US-2008; dir. Mark and John Polonia)
The tale involves giant prehistoric reptiles and yes, apparently the town gets trashed!
Kaiju Search-Robot Avery has managed to obtain some pictures of one of the monsters from Tempe Entertainment, who are releasing the film on DVD come 16th of September.
Cute, eh?
You can pre-order the film here.

It looks like the Oso-Si-Papu.
I hate to admit ignorance on something relating to a monster, Matt, but what’s the Oso-Si-Papu?
Here’s what good ol ‘Mattman’ is talking about: http://home.earthlink.net/~coelacanthfilms/coel_oso01.html and: http://home.earthlink.net/~coelacanthfilms/coel_gal07.html Definitely a resemblance.
