While Monster Hunt is "cute" first and foremost, thankfully it isn't bereft of weird ideas and darkly funny sequences. Most of the third act is set in a swanky restaurant where monsters are routinely roasted, spliced, baked and subsequently eaten; even our poor Wuba is subject to a few horrific cooking techniques, but like almost everything else in the film, these moments are played for surreal laughs - since Wuba apparently can't be killed. The fact that the villain in the movie wants to saw off this little tyke's head and eat his brains while he's alive goes a long way toward showing you that we're not in Kansas anymore. Monster Hunt is bonkers, and I'm grateful for that.
