The Horror
19 July 2002
To say this is a JAWS rip off does not do justice as to how bad this is , in fact the only compatant bits are the monster P.O.V shots stolen from the JAWS franchise . This is film making at its absolute nadir , it`d be impossible to make a film worse than this on purpose . Everyone has already commented the mistakes like the American ambulances and the god awful ( Non ) Scottish accents , the poor acting etc , but has anyone mentioned the goof that dynamite ISN`T freely avalaible in Scotland ? Or that the police uniforms aren`t the same ones seen in Scotland ? And has anyone pointed out how poor the dialogue is ?

" A lotta people want you out of here " Aye Scottish film goers obviously

" You not wanted round here here " Aye definately scottish film goers

" I`m really sorry for what happened " No doubt said by everyone involved in the making of this tripe

" I could do better with a ( A high St brand of camera ) " No doubt said by everyone who`s seen this tripe . Also notice the product placement . So that`s how this film was funded

" We need something that`ll keep us in work " Subtle post modernist excuse for making this tripe

" We don`t need any help round here " Oh no ? What about acting lessons , screenwriting classes , film school etc ?

" Why don`t you go back to the States to find bigfoot or Elvis Pressley ? " Maybe they could also find a decent script , director , editor , producer and actors while they`re there

" Sheep got a headache ? " Oh right like the Welsh , Aussies and New Zealanders the Jocks are sheep lovers are they ? Doubt if anyone in this film would have the guts to say that in Scotland especially after watching this tripe it`s obvious they have no idea where Scotland

PS A flock of sheep with headaches could have made a better film than this
