Schlock, a prehistoric apeman who falls in love with a teenage blind beauty and terrorizes her Southern California suburb. Schlock is no ordinary simian; he possesses some very unusual skills. Among other things, he plays the piano and gives TV interviews. In this hysterical spoof of early monster movies and missing-link science fiction films, John Landis pays homage to the monster movies of the past with irreverent humor and wacky hijinks.

The American movie Schlock is certainly an interesting first movie by John Landis, although it is not a movie that aged particularly well over the years. It may have some hidden depth, although you will probably be digging for it for quite a while. You may not even find anything of worth, which you probably do not want in a movie like this. Plus, you are not going to laugh much, which unfortunately makes the movie average, even less so for some.

I really like John Landis’ movies, but in Schlock, he was visibly just becoming acquainted with the film media, this low-quality and boring parody of ape B-movies not being quite satisfying. It’s obvious that sitting behind the camera – and in this case also in front of it – was a film geek who merrily projected his crazy ideas on the screen; as a whole, his picture has a totally random development, few well-built gags and plenty of blank moments. If I had to point something out, it would be Schlock’s mask, made by Rick Baker, combined with the comedic acting of Landis himself in the title role, because – even with his make-up – the viewer can easily read his facial expressions, which account for a substantial part of the film as well as for many jokes.
