Watch: Schlock 1973 123movies, Full Movie Online – A monkey-type monster falls in love with a blind girl, which thinks that he’s a giant dog. After kidnapping the girl and fleeing king-kong-like onto the roof of a gym, he gets involved with the army..
Plot: A quiet suburb in Southern California is terrorized by a mysterious murderous monster living in a cave. As the bodies pile up — with incriminating banana peels always near by the crime scene — a group of teens stumble on the guilty party: a 20-million-year-old Schlockthropus, an ape-like creature with a sense of the absurd.

Funny little film!
You won’t see big stars or great acting performances in this production. It’s not a masterpiece but it’s cool because it parodies some famous movies. And, although silly, there are many funny scenes. The scene with the two twin girls and the puppy eating the cake, the scene when Schlock coming out of the cinema disgusted by the big crap with Steve McQueen called “The Blob”, the scene when Schlock dismembers the red car, the scene with the boy who asks Schlock to take him to pee and, very funny, the scene when Schlock plays the piano with the blind man. Unfortunately, the ending is sad, beauty kills Schlock.
Cheap, Quick, and Funny.
I actually saw this in the theatre where they filmed the movie theatre sequence just a few months before. I think the movie was only out for about a week, but my buddies and I caught it twice! Even dragged our drama teacher to see it (he loved it).This is the kind of high-school humor that was a carry over from the Three Stooges and is still going strong, but Landis was one of the first to bring it up to date.
I think they shot this in 16mm (it looks it) and the photography has all the depth of a Wilderness Family entry, but the laughs are very much there. And this had one of the most memorable ad campaign tag lines in history: “Due to the horrifying nature of this film, no one will be admitted.”
It was also the only film I know of which had ads featuring a rave by Johnny Carson. It’s low budget, but high yuks. I still remember it fondly (Hey, Landis, please return to your comic roots of the 70s and 80s; we don’t need another Woody Allen).
