The Mole Man of Belmont Avenue is a quirky horror comedy film from 2011, directed by Mike Bradecich and John LaFlamboy, who also star in the movie. The film follows two brothers, Ron (Mike Bradecich) and Dale (John LaFlamboy), who inherit a run-down apartment building in the Belmont area of Chicago, after their landlord aunt passes away.

The two brothers, who have a history of failed business ventures, see the apartment building as an opportunity to turn their lives around and make some money. They kick out the few remaining tenants, planning to renovate the apartments and sell them off for a profit.

However, their lofty plans are quickly dashed, as they discover a mole man living in the basement of the building. The mole man, who has been living underground for years, emerges from the basement and begins to wreak havoc on the building and its inhabitants.

The mole man is a strange and quirky character, played by Bradecich with a mix of physical comedy and horror. He's covered in dirt and grime, with wild unkempt hair, and has a penchant for stealing household items and hoarding them in his underground lair.

As the mole man continues to wreak havoc on the apartment building, Ron and Dale struggle to get rid of him, all while dealing with the challenges of renovating the building and managing their tenants. Along the way, they enlist the help of some eccentric characters, including a psychic (Susan Messing) and a beat cop (Robert Englund).

The film is filled with offbeat humor and over-the-top horror, making it a true cult classic. The acting is top-notch, with Bradecich and LaFlamboy delivering hilarious performances as the bumbling brothers. The supporting cast also shines, with Messing providing some excellent comedic relief as the kooky psychic, and Englund bringing his signature horror chops to the role of the beat cop.

One of the standout elements of the film is its use of practical effects. The mole man's makeup is expertly done, making him both scary and endearing at the same time. The film also features a variety of gore and practical effects, which add to the overall horror-comedy feel.

At its core, The Mole Man of Belmont Avenue is a fun and quirky film that doesn't take itself too seriously. It's a great example of horror-comedy done right, blending humor and scares in a way that's both entertaining and memorable. It's a film that's sure to delight both horror and comedy fans alike, and one that's definitely worth checking out.
