Jack Brooks: Monster Slayer

Audience emotional responses for Jack Brooks: Monster Slayer are primarily driven by its unique blend of horror, comedy, and action. Humor is a dominant emotion, stemming from the film's B-movie aesthetic, practical creature effects, and the protagonist's often awkward yet determined approach to monster slaying. Fear, anxiety, and a sense of the disturbing are evoked by the grotesque creature designs, the professor's unsettling transformation, and the inherent threats posed by the ancient curse.

Underlying these are elements of empathy for Jack's past trauma and his reluctant journey into heroism, alongside moments of disgust at the creature designs and satisfaction when monsters are vanquished.
