Excellent

Rating: 8/10 (24 November 2004)

I saw this as a pre-screener, or whatever they are called, where the producer etc fill a cinema with the public to get their opinions before finalising the film.
Taking into account for the unfinished sound work, and the occasional blip in the picture, i thought the film was excellent.
As soon as i am able i will be watching the final version to see if it has been changed much.
However, as a review, i feel i must give the film a minimum of 8/10. Even though the actors arn't world famous, many of them have done various other things in the UK. Because of this none of them steal the show away from the storyline or the quality of the production.
As a whole the film comes across as a spoof, but the kind that asks nicely before it pokes the finger of fun at the original.
For those that are in the know there are many many references to horror movies of the past, and even though i only spotted a few, it enhanced the watching experience.
The film has a good pace, good characters that are developed, great direction, great humour, superb use of music and is well worth seeing as and when you can, tho it is not necessary to see in the cinema.
