I love Norman Wisdom and Rik Mayall as funny actors, but I'm very curious to see this.sixtee6 Gaminghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05883767862579451737noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-331602473490911034.post-31652611128708108682012-04-03T19:55:51.712+02:002012-04-03T19:55:51.712+02:00I had heard of this.

The Raven bit probably comes from Poe (tenuously). It had crap loads of titles, Alone in The Dark was another. Norm shot his bits back in 2002 apparently, so evidently it was a long while in the making, which just makes it worse.<br />Apparently they used Vincent Price's voice at one point, not sure if entirely missed this in my rage or if it got cut, either way it further annoys me. And, Wikipedia claims, Marianne Faithfull's voice is there too.

Essentially they're Lloyd from The Shining. It's just awful and sad. There's a lot of The Shining in there. I like to imagine the director, before filming watching The Blair Witch Project, falling asleep and then waking up during The Shining, that's what the film is like. But bad, very bad. And 3D.<br />Hope you are well, m'dear. You have to let me know about the blog project you want me to join in with. I'd love that.Jinxhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09846009841300499536noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-331602473490911034.post-45739755551799016922012-03-14T19:29:08.497+01:002012-03-14T19:29:08.497+01:00The funny thing is, when I see that cast list - an...The funny thing is, when I see that cast list - and I'd never ever heard of this movie - I feel exactly the same as you, and I still do, even now I've read your review.<br />It's just too enticing. It's one of those casts that is so enticing you simply cannot take anyone's word for it that it's going to be a waste of time. You have to find out for yourself.<br />And don't think I won't.<br /><br />What does Norm actually do in the film? <br />And what does Rik Mayall do in it? <br />And why does it have such a preposterous title?<br /><br />And lastly, a more general "hooray!" for the return of Jinx.Matthew Coniamhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00302989527514886503noreply@blogger.com
