Dead Fred

Just seen this was made on a low budget which is why I have given it a 10. It was well worth watching. Such a great cast and shows what can be achieved on a lower budget. Much better than some of the rubbish which comes out. This film had character and heart and was funny. It is not going to be a film which will probably interest younger people but as an 'older' woman I could really appreciate what these 'gals' got up to. Well worth watching.

Considering this was a low budget feature slapstick black comedy, it has some fabulous attributes. The cinematography and setting captures the atmosphere enhanced by the jazzy music score. The comedy takes one back to the old days so anyone expecting the modern touch or is unfamiliar with earlier humour, may not get the intention of this film. It's the old-fashioned humour that brings a certain charm with this film together with the cast and the way the film is beautifully crafted. Recommended.

Was hoping for something in the realm of Waking Ned Devine. Instead looked like someone's high school project. Terrible production, acting and sound. Who compared this to Midsommer Murders?! The jokes were there but they fell with a thud. Might have worked with better delivery, timing, acting etc. Finally turned off after 15 minutes, which was probably 10 minutes too late. Might have been a good premise there, but I'll never know, or care.
