The Boom Mic is the star

Rating: Null/10 (14 September 2004)

I'm only the third person posting so far to point out that the boom mic was prominent in this movie. It was in well over half the scenes. There were two bobbing around in one shot, and in the forest (whoops, spoiler) the entire boom including the handle were in shot. I expected to see the operator at any time.
I saw the film in the little cinema in Keswick, and I supposed that there's a bad print going around. Now that I've got home and checked the web a bit, I see that there are not that many around. But shouldn't the public be warned. It certainly ruined the film for me. Who's responsible?
The film itself, beneath the mic... Well, it wasn't surprising, it wasn't well written - it was stilted. It had no passion, and the silliness of the plot was only matched by the laughably unscary others who shall not be named who wear cloaks in that colour that shall not be seen in this film that I wouldn't bother watching.
