The Monster Trailers

A vicious serial sex killer is on the loose, and landscape gardener and shop-window outfitter Loris is the prime suspect, thanks to his unfortunate habit of getting caught in compromising situations (for which there is always a totally innocent explanation that the police fail to spot). Undercover policewoman Jessica is assigned by eccentric police psychologist Taccone to follow Loris.

Reviews
InformationRap This is one of the few movies I've ever seen where the whole audience broke into spontaneous, loud applause a third of the way in.
Myron Clemons A film of deceptively outspoken contemporary relevance, this is cinema at its most alert, alarming and alive.
Cassandra Story: It's very simple but honestly that is fine.
Yazmin Close shines in drama with strong language, adult themes.
lucap-gentile I am witness of one of the real stories which are quite similar to this movie. A COUCHSURFING HORROR STORY, A NEGATIVE REFERENCE THAT HIDES MANY THINGS…This is the feedback Giedre, a couchsurfing member, wrote for the guy in the above picture:Giedre Birzyte Reference - Couchsurfing - Luca Gentile "GIRLS, BE CAREFUL! I am putting negative reference, so you would go and check the neutral references, before you decide to stay, host or meet him. I've met him shortly, he invited me for a dinner to his place. 20 minutes was enough to understand that it is better to RUN fast from this guy. Pure intuition and no evidence, but I am glad I did not stay for evidence"This man invites you to dinner and while being polite… he will… http://wp.me/p4ZVpc-48
gubacs2 It seems that Roberto Begnini can't go wrong when it comes to comedy. In a way, he might be the last / only great comedian of our times, who writes, acts, and (usually)directs films at the same time. He alone keeps alive this classic tradition of films, which genre's rules are invented and perfected by such greatness's as Charlie Chaplin, Buster Keaton, not to mention director giant Federico Fellini. This one is also a warm-hearted, humane, and really funny, which gives an unusual yet very likable mix, especially in times of so-called humorous films with endless quantities of stupid fart jokes and toilet humor. There might be some flaws however, but none too disturbing. Recommended!
jolee308 I was told by my Doctor to laugh a lot as it will help me improve my situation. Well, after watching Robert Benigni in the Movie" Il Mostro," I could not Stop laughing. I have seen it more than 6 times, and each time is like watching it for the first time. Wonderful prescription for anyone needing to laugh a lot. I intend to buy the film soon, for it is my prescription for good health. In fact i plan on watching it again with my family very soon. The acting by all in the Movie was done very professionally. The scenes, in itself was very good. I especially enjoyed the scene on the scaffold and the one where everyone was chasing him down the street.
wurlybird9 Although the humor is generally not too sophisticated, this movie is just non-stop laughs. While it's crude, it's also quite clever, although some scenes (i.e. the video recap) were perhaps a bit redundant. But I like it, its goofiness is endearing.
